Price The Oak
Gershwin Concerto in F
Shostakovich Symphony No.10

Xiayin Wang piano | Kerem Hasan conductor

Kerem Hasan takes up the baton for our final concert of the season. Join us as he takes us through the American Midwest with The Oak, a richly orchestrated, vibrant tone poem by Florence Price, one of the United States’ greatest forgotten symphonists. Then it’s over to the East Coast for a rhapsodic romp with Xiayin Wang as she tows the line between silky and symphonic in Concerto for F, a piano concerto by America’s defining composer. Finally, we’ll be crossing the Atlantic to explore Shostakovich’s ever-complicated feelings towards life and the Soviet Union – displayed for all to see in this most complex and surely most poetic of symphonies, Symphony No. 10 is chock-full of drama, lyricism and Shostakovich’s uniquely sardonic wit.

 

Pre-concert entertainment from 6.15pm in the Foyer Bar

Enjoy a drink in the bar before our concert this Saturday and listen to music from the brilliant John Phillips String Quartet.

Formed in 2018 at the Royal Northern College of Music the group will be performing music by American composers and more. A perfect way to start your evening out!
