Enchanting dance music journey with Flanders Symphony Orchestra, from Baroque to Boléro.
Dive into the essence of dance music with the Flanders Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Duncan Ward. The journey begins in the baroque era with the bewitching suite from Rameau’s ballet opera Les Indes Galantes. From there the programme moves to the 20th century with Stravinsky's unique interpretation of the baroque dance music in Pulcinella, masterfully performed by mezzo-soprano Adriana Bignagni Lesca. The adventure reaches its climax in the rich FolkSongs of Luciano Berio.
The concert ends with an ode to the musicians of the future. One of the composers from the SOV Composers’ Academy adds a new ‘folk song’. Finally, several musicians from SOV Young - Flanders Symphony Orchestra’s training orchestra - join the orchestra for Ravel’s Boléro, one of the most iconic ballet scores in musical history.
