Synopsis
True to its 56 years of history collaborating with over 300 composers to birth new music for their instrument, the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet presents the world premiere of the quadruple saxophone concerto by renowned Danish-German composer Søren Nils Eichberg (b. 1973), a commission by the Singapore Symphony.
Our guest conductor Kolja Blacher leads the SSO in his father Boris Blacher’s sixteen dazzling orchestral variations on the famous theme from Paganini’s 24th Caprice, before taking you back to the familiar strains of the evergreen concert hall favourite, Dvořák’s New World Symphony.
