As part of the Fête de la musique, the OSR and Jonathan Nott will be playing four very different 20th century works. The concert will begin with a piece by Arthur Honegger, Rugby. Inspired by a match, it evokes the energy, rapid movements and clashes of the game through the instrumentation. This is followed by Claude Debussy's Trois Études. Originally for piano, they have been transformed for orchestra. Here we discover a variety of timbres and moods. For the main course, Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring recounts an ancient ritual linked to the return of spring. The music uses distinctive rhythms and sonorities to create a highly expressive atmosphere. The concert concludes with Maurice Ravel's Ma Mère l'Oye, a cycle of five children's pieces for orchestra that evoke fairytales. Le Jardin Féerique, one of the pieces in this suite, conjures up an imaginary world where magic and nature meet.
Come and celebrate music with the OSR on 21 June at 7 p.m. at the Victoria Hall!
Admission is free!
