Concert information
Info
The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie rightly calls itself a “orchestra of the future” – in more ways than one: it brings together the most talented young instrumentalists in Germany, and contemporary music is always part of the programme. In this concert, it is framed by two famous tone poems: Richard Strauss’s stirring Tod und Verklärung and Claude Debussy’s shimmering La Mer. George Benjamin, one of Britain’s leading composers, contributes his intense Concerto for Orchestra and conducts the performance himself. The soloist in the sensuous Violin Concerto No. 1 by Karol Szymanowski is the South Korean violinist Bomsori Kim.
