Yuki Negishi

Programme:

Nielsen - Rhapsody Overture
Grieg - Piano Concerto in A minor
Dvo?ák - Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’

Welcome to the opening concert of the season. They are delighted to welcome back their dear friend and Bl?thner sponsored pianist, Yuki Negishi. Yuki will be performing Edvard Grieg’s enduringly popular piano concerto. The tumultuous opening is one of the most famous in the repertoire and the work has been a mainstay ever since it was premièred in 1869. To follow this they will be performing Antonín Dvo?ák’s Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’, which is possibly one of the most popular symphonies of all time. Do not miss.

They open the concert with Carl Nielsen’s Rhapsody Overture, ‘An Imaginary Journey to the Faroe Islands’. The work was written in 1927 evoking a sea crossing from Denmark to a celebration in the Faroe Islands and uses motifs from Faroese ballads. Join for this wonderful music, sure to warm you on a cold November night.
