CORRESPONDENCES

Under the direction of its honorary member Robin Ticciati, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe presents a programme that brings diverse musical connections into focus. Anton Webern’s original orchestration of the six-part Ricercar from Bach’s Musical Offering enters into dialogue with Sofia Gubaidulina’s Reflections on the Theme B-A-C-H, a response to the great unfinished fugue at the conclusion of The Art of Fugue. Robert Schumann’s Violin Concerto, performed by the Norwegian star violinist Vilde Frang, likewise draws on Baroque traditions even as its visionary harmonic language points unmistakably toward the future.
