Concert Information
Three years after the 成人快手 Philharmonic鈥檚 world premiere of The Immortal drew rapturous acclaim from critics and audiences, Mark Simpson, the orchestra鈥檚 Composer in Association, presents another brand-new work. Friends with Simpson since they were both 成人快手 Radio 3 New Generation Artists from 2012 to 2014, superb young cellist Leonard Elschenbroich gives the premiere of this 成人快手 Philharmonic commission, the centrepiece of a programme that also features Strauss鈥檚 redemptive tone-poem and Shostakovich鈥檚 staggering First Symphony 鈥� completed when the composer was just 18.
