SUMMARY:Kluxen – Atwood\, Heggie\, & Sibelius
DESCRIPTION:Ten years following the tragic death of his sister\, opera star Joshua Hopkins showcases a powerful song cycle that honours her memory and comforts those who are in grief. Co-commissioned by the National Arts Centre Orchestra and Houston Grand Opera\, composer Jake Heggie sets poetry by Margaret Atwood in a moving musical work that speaks out against domestic violence. Music of Sibelius (including VS’s own Russell Bajer on English horn for The Swan of Tuonela) balances the program with works of sublime beauty and pastoral comfort. \n

SUMMARY:Mozart & Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Triple-threat conductor/pianist/composer Dinuk Wijeratne returns with a program full of folk inspiration and musical variation. Contrasting with Mozart and Brahms\, Wijeratne’s own work is described as “a melting pot of tabla-like dance rhythms\, funky jazz riffs\, and tonal clusters.” In Sri Lankan culture\, vannamas are often danced in ritual processions\, this one depicting the majesty of the sacred elephant bathing and frolicking in the abode of the gods!

SUMMARY:Dvořák Symphony No. 7
DESCRIPTION:Canadian pianist Angela Cheng returns with a concerto that Mozart lovingly wrote with his student\, Barbara Ployer\, in mind. Dvořák’s love for his homeland was expressed in his Symphony No. 7. Its London premiere in 1885 brought him great international acclaim. Maestra Naomi Woo returns to share an overture by Emilie Mayer\, a pioneering and prolific composer in Germany in the mid-1800s.

SUMMARY:VS Presents: Valdés\, Goodyear\, & VIS
DESCRIPTION:We welcome some returning guests as VS presents a special concert by the Nanaimo-based Vancouver Island Symphony. Cuban-born Cosette Justo Valdés has won the hearts of musicians and audiences on Vancouver Island. Now in her third season as music director of VIS\, she mates the madcap musical high jinks of Rossini alongside the happy spirits and bucolic folksiness of Dvořák. She has also invited pianist Stewart Goodyear—a longtime favourite in Victoria—to enchant with Ravel’s whip-cracking Concerto in G major\, a work that evokes jazz-age Paris.

SUMMARY:Kluxen & Tam – Bartók Violin Concerto & Beethoven's Eroica
DESCRIPTION:Three heroic works are featured\, beginning with Subito con forza\, by South Korea’s Unsuk Chin. Her orchestral miniature is “haunted by Beethovenian gestures…amid Chin’s own exquisite orchestral palette – icy shivers of strings\, rasping woodwind and ghostly muted trumpets” (The Guardian). In producing his Violin Concerto No. 2\, Bartók followed in the footsteps of Beethoven and Brahms with a work that was quickly championed by Yehudi Menuhin—here played by VS Concertmaster Terence Tam. Beethoven’s monumental Eroica Symphony was bigger and longer than anything that preceded it\, and it remains a colossus of the musical literature today.

SUMMARY:Appalachian Spring
DESCRIPTION:Known for his ability to bring new audiences to the concert hall\, the Calgary-born “disruptor-conductor” Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser leads a journey that touches on the beauty of nature and our need to care for our climate. The poetry of Wendy Jean MacLean is set by BC-based choral composer Nicholas Ryan Kelly in Earth\, Beloved\, a work that provides an uplifting message.
