FROM PLAYER TO PODIUM: HÅKAN HARDENBERGER
Thursday 15th May, 7.30pm, Hall One
A visit to Sage Gateshead from Håkan Hardenberger, arguably the world’ s finest trumpeter, who brings with him music infused with the spirit of the Baroque. Stravinsky’ s re-working of music by the Italian Giovanni Battista Pergolesi is a bustling bag of Baroque tricks injected with Stravinsky’ s own brand of 20th century irreverence and harmonic spice. Håkan picks up his trumpet for Haydn’ s spectacular concerto along with an exquisite piece of Bach, ending with more Haydn: his penultimate symphony, the‘ Drumroll’.
With a post-concert‘ Northern Sinfonia Spotlight’
Buses from Alnwick and Hexham. Tickets: £ 10- £ 33
