Chloé van Soeterstède returns to the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ following her mesmerising concert with the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ Philharmonic in the spring.
The winner of the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ Concerto Competition, harpist Tannaz Beigijouinani, takes centre stage in Italian composer Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Concertino for Harp and Chamber Orchestra – a piece full of dramatic atmosphere and subtle colours.
Then comes Sibelius’ Symphony no 5, which opens with a glorious evocation of sunrise and culminates in the finale’s sweeping strings and jubilant horn theme, written after Sibelius witnessed the awe-inspiring sight of 16 swans in flight. This proved to be a defining moment for the composer, who wrote in his diary: ’One of the great experiences of my life! God, how beautiful’.
