Synopsis
Acclaimed violinist Clara Jumi Kang makes her Singapore debut with Benjamin Britten’s Violin Concerto, an intensely virtuosic work both darkly lyrical and wildly exciting, often compared to Prokofiev’s examples in the genre. Britten’s chamber orchestra arrangement of the second movement from Mahler’s Third Symphony, What the Wild Flowers Tell Me, was written in 1941 at a time when Mahler’s symphonies were yet to become the concert hall staples of today.
Distinguished British conductor Mark Wigglesworth leads the Singapore Symphony Orchestra in these works, culminating in Beethoven’s signature Fifth Symphony as we celebrate his 200th anniversary.
Saturday Afternoon Concert – the 3 Apr concert begins at 4pm.
