FINALE
Wednesday 11th June, 7.30pm, Hall One
Thomas Zehetmair’ s last evening as Music Director of Northern Sinfonia arrives with a concert of big gestures: Mozart’ s imposing overture, Bartók’ s insistent Viola Concerto, and John Casken’ s inspiring picture of human love and togetherness, commissioned for Thomas and his partner Ruth. But gestures don’ t come much bigger than Beethoven’ s Fifth – an infamous musical tussle with fate whose compelling narrative and unfailing beauty changed the way music was conceived, in the head and on the stage. A fitting conclusion to a remarkable tenure.
