Pēteris Vasks Violin Concerto: Distant Light
Our mini-festival of music by composers from the three Baltic States – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – kicks off with the violin concerto of one of the most well-known of Latvian composers, Pēteris Vasks. Australian Brett Dean describes his Short Stories as Five Interludes for string orchestra, telling abstract stories, open to personal interpretation and without specific narrative, except for one inspired by the death of a Soviet Cosmonaut. As soloist and director, Guildhall School alumnus Anthony Marwood brings to his roles what BBC Music Magazine called his “boundless energy, intellectual curiosity and creative wizardry”.
This concert is part of the Young Artists Series showcasing new and emerging talent in the world of classical music. The series is presented in partnership with City Music Society.
