Leeds Town Hall
All concerts start at 7.30pm (except 15 October, which starts at 7pm)
WELCOME TO LEEDS INTERNATIONAL CONCERT SEASON’S 2016/17 ORCHESTRAL SEASON. The 2016/17 season opens with a visit from the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra performing Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, the composer’s magnificent exploration of fate, doubt and triumph. Also from abroad we are delighted to welcome tours by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by maestro Yuri Temirkanov, Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra with Leif Ove Andsnes as director and soloist, and Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. The finest British orchestras continue to visit Leeds Town Hall including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and, for the first time in thirteen years, the City of London Sinfonia with clarinettist Michael Collins as director and soloist. We are delighted to welcome back the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra with Music Director Vasily Petrenko and the Orchestra of Opera North with new Music Director Aleksandar Markovic. The talented young musicians of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain return in April 2017 with a performance of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony alongside the fireworks of two works by Mexican composers Márquez and Revueltas. Leeds is lucky enough to boast two great choral societies, both playing an important role in the season. Leeds Festival Chorus performs Rossini’s Petit Messe Solennelle in November, with Leeds Philharmonic Chorus presenting Elgar’s The Music Makers in March before the choruses join together for a resounding performance of Verdi’s Requiem to end the season in May. Leeds’ International Orchestral Season continues to be one of the finest orchestral programmes in the country. We look forward to welcoming you to Leeds Town hall during the 2016/17 season.

Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art. CHOPIN

As a composer seeking to remain anonymous, I am shy of confessing my musical activity... For others it is their chief business, the occupation and aim of life. For me it is a relaxation, a pastime which distracts me from my principal business, my professorship. BORODIN

All I desired was that the hearer, if he liked my piece as symphonic music, should carry away the impression that it is beyond a doubt an Oriental narrative of some numerous and varied fairy-tale wonders and not merely four pieces played one after the other and composed on the basis of themes common to all the four movements.
