Sibelius – Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47
Tchaikovsky – Symphony No.4 in F minor, Op. 36
The University of Warwick Chorus performs two works by popular American composers in this evening of dramatic and moving music; the Chichester Psalms by Bernstein, one of the best loved American composers of all time, and Sleep by Eric Whitacre, who is widely considered to be amongst the most successful composers of choral music today.
We are delighted to welcome back concerto competition winner and former Warwick student Sam Parker to perform the solo part of Sibelius’ virtuosic Violin Concerto. The programme is completed by the ever-popular fourth sumphony by Tchaikovsky.
