Conductor Marcus Bosch (two-time Opus Klassik winner), leads the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra in a programme of storytelling. The evening opens with Stravinsky's The Firebird Suite, a shimmering fairy-tale score full of magic and menace. After the interval, Bosch turns to Gershwin with the effervescent An American in Paris, receiving its Qatar premiere, followed by Catfish Row, the symphonic suite drawn from “Porgy and Bess”. Three composers, three worlds; from Russian folklore to the streets of Paris and the American South.
Conductor Wilson Ng (newly appointed Fellow Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra), leads the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra. Violinist Esther Yoo (youngest prizewinner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition), joins the orchestra for Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Major, one of the most beloved works in the violin repertoire. After the interval, the programme lives up to its title with Brahms' Piano Quartet in G Minor, radically transformed into a full orchestral work by Arnold Schoenberg. Familiar Brahms experienced in a way you've never heard before.
