We look forward to welcoming back Jörg Widmann for Mozart & Strauss at UCH in September. The ICO emerge from darkness into light with Mozart’s C Fugue. The healing Adagio reminiscent of a French overture is filled with bold, expressive progressions whilst the Fugue, rolls on relentlessly to its close. Richard Strauss’s post-war masterpiece Metamorphosen is seen as an impassioned heart cry for the death of German culture. The title was inspired by Goethe’s essay On the Metamorphosis of Plants, and his ravishing composition evokes themes of rebirth, growth and transformation. There are strong parallels to the music as we emerge from the trauma of Covid with a huge sense of renewal and hope. See www.irishchamberorchstra.com for concert details in due course.
