Programme

Overview

Step into an evening where the misty peace of Vaughan Williams’ Fifth Symphony meets the bold defiance of Grażyna Bacewicz’s Overture. Experience the fire and ice of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, illuminated by the award-winning virtuosity of Liya Petrova.In the wake of global turmoil, Ralph Vaughan Williams, at seventy, imagined a world bathed in tranquility. His Fifth Symphony greets the ear with mist-like strings that slowly coalesce into a vision of luminous hope, weaving spacious harmonies that soar with eloquence and searing intensity. Before this culminating masterpiece, Grażyna Bacewicz’s Overture bursts forth with unapologetic defiance—its bold brass fanfares and rhythmic drive a testament to the resolute voice of a woman composer in mid-century Poland. Between these two landscapes, the orchestra’s Artist-in-Residence Liya Petrova guides the listener through the fire and ice of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, her virtuosity transforming each phrase into shards of crystalline passion. Under Adam Hickox’s spirited direction, the evening unfolds as a journey from stark drama to rapturous beauty, celebrating twentieth-century ingenuity and the enduring power of musical hope.
