In Exile - Concert

Programme

Sibelius Finlandia, 8′

Dove In Exile, 30′ (CBSO Centenary Commission: UK Premiere)

Dvořák Symphony No.9 (New World), 40′

From the CBSO website:

"..Grand passions, glorious tunes: Sibelius’s Finlandia and Dvořák’s New World are two classics that just never get old (even if the Hovis advert was nearly 50 years ago now!). But tonight, we’re creating new memories too, with the UK premiere of In Exile by Jonathan Dove: a heartfelt musical journey for two great British soloists, written specially for us by one of our most communicative – and brilliant – living composers...."
