P22-25 P32

a symphony orchestra is a large and wondrous organism. as the lights dim your ears are caressed by the sound of the orchestra tuning-up. the organism gently stirs. silence. the conductor appears. applause. the baton is raised. violins are tucked under chins, wind and brass are brought to lips. the air is charged with expectation.

Richard Gill conductor Lloyd Hudson flute & piccolo CORELLI Concerto Grosso Op 6 No 8, Christmas Concerto VIVALDI Flute Concerto in G RV438 WARLOCK Capriol Suite GEMINIANI Concerto Grosso in E minor VIVALDI Piccolo Concerto in C RV443 GRIEG Holberg Suite Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani… For centuries, Italy was the powerhouse of the musical world. It attracted composers from all over and the “Italian style” went global (or, as we might say today, it went viral). In this concert Richard Gill, conductor and educator extraordinaire, takes you on a tour of Italian music of the Baroque, with Lloyd Hudson appearing as soloist in two sparkling concertos by Vivaldi. But not just Italy, you’ll get to hear Grieg’s Holberg Suite and Warlock’s Capriol Suite, two classic works for string orchestra.

Presented by Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra as part of Ten Days’ Tasmanian International Arts Festival
