Durham University Palatinate Orchestra’s Symphony Orchestra presents an evening of brilliant rhapsodies and legends, including Liszt’s ‘Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2’, Sibelius’s ‘Lemminkäinen Suite’ and music by Rossini and Glazunov.
The Palatinate Orchestra will open the concert with Rossini’s famed ‘Barber of Seville Overture’, bursting with sparkling wit and charm, before Glazunov’s richly evocative ‘Ballade for Orchestra’. Liszt’s ‘Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2’, in its fiery orchestral guise, forms the thrilling centrepiece, full of drama and orchestral fireworks.
The evening will culminate with Sibelius’s so-called ‘Symphony No. 0’, the ‘Lemminkäinen Suite’, featuring the haunting ‘Swan of Tuonela’, and a sweeping heroic finale. Conducted by Anthony Sutch, this promises to be a night of passion, orchestral marvel and symphonic storytelling you won’t want to miss!
