Together
with Jean Thorel, our newly appointed chief conductor from Paris, we hope
you will enjoy the special programmes we have devised for your enjoyment.
Featured artists include Catrin Finch, former Royal Harpist to HRH the
Prince of Wales, and the internationally acclaimed Russian cellist Alexander
Rudin. The young and gifted Chinese pianist Ang Li will be showcased in
our annual rising star concert, and for families we have Howard Blake's
The Snowman - a special Christmas treat to melt your hearts. 2009 marks
the 200th anniversary of the death of Haydn. To commemorate this event
we will be performing a series of early Haydn symphonies. Join us in discovering
the endless creativity and inventiveness of the man affectionately known
as the "father of the symphony". Other special highlights include
the celestial sounds of Thomas Bloch's glass harmonica and Jörg Waschinski's
heavenly notes in opera arias recalling the golden age of the castrati.
To round off the season we will tour to Europe with Chinese pipa virtuso
Yang Jing performing a refreshing programme of mostly modern Chinese music.
After nine years running,
