Synopsis
This wildly varied programme curated by Hans Graf begins with a display of the power and versatility of brass: French fanfares, fascinating Konzertmusik, and heavenly Bach. The unforgettable allure of Bizet’s music for Carmen received a modern refresh in a 1967 arrangement by Rodion Shchedrin for strings and a generous dose of percussion. First performed by the SSO in 2021 with a reduced orchestra and audience, now’s your chance to catch it again, this time with its unforgettable numbers and Spanish fire cranked to the max!
