Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2008/2009 Opening Season Concert

Approaching sell out
Mussorgsky: Night on the Bare Mountain
Bruch: Violin Concerto No.1
Dvorak: Symphony No.9, 'From the New World'
A programme of three ever-popular pieces, beginning with Mussorgsky's chilling depiction of a pagan ceremony. On arriving in New York to teach, a homesick Dvorák was inspired to compose his invigorating and soulful New World Symphony, its slow movement now world-famous in many guises. In between these celebrated works is Max Bruch\'s evergreen Violin Concerto No.1 which remains one of the most-loved of violin works imbued as it is with heart, vitality, deep expression and a fund of glorious
romantic melody.
Meet the artists, free pre-concert talk from 6.30pm presented by Edward Seckerson.
