• Repertoire

Milhaud

The Creation of the World

Britten

Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge

Stravinsky

Concerto in E-flat, Dumbarton Oaks

Philip Glass

Symphony No. 3

Maestro Tovey conducts a magnificent concert that explores a world of exhilarating soundscapes. French composer Darius Milhaud’s The Creation of the World is rich, exotic music written for a ballet based on African folk mythology. The Third Symphony of American composer Philip Glass is a fascinating piece of sonic architecture for string orchestra, and Stravinsky’s Dumbarton Oaks is a beautiful neo-classical Chamber concerto.
