Always a crowd pleaser, Mozart's Overture, The Marriage of Figaro opens this concert.
Gerald Plain's Clawhammer is based on the technique often used by country musicians when picking the strings. This "short, amusing and cute piece" according to our maestro, also adds some technical electronic sounds for an enjoyable and entertaining piece.
Elmar Oliveira is an internationally known violinist who uses his great talent in Robert Schumann's Violin Concerto in D minor. We are delighted to have this particular demanding concerto heard within our season as a first for the ACO.
The closing piece in the concert is the brilliant and buoyant Schubert Symphony no. 2, which begins slowly and quickly moves to an active and vibrant gem of a piece.
