Concert information
Michael Tippett鈥檚 masterpiece for solo piano and orchestra redefined the English
concerto, marrying pastoral lyricism with spiky modernity to thrilling effect.
Tonight, the orchestra welcomes two performers who inhabit Tippett鈥檚 soundworld like few others: Steven Osborne, who made the definitive recording a few years ago, and Sir Andrew Davis, a longtime Tippett admirer.
Tonight also features two symphonies by 20th-century pioneers: Sibelius鈥檚 lucid, translucent Sixth, and a potent, persuasive work written by Igor Stravinsky, in his own words, 鈥榯o the glory of God鈥�.
