The sound of Paris opens the evening's concert with BFUng in Gershwin's sweeping and melodious music, the talent Emilie Synnøve Liknes is a soloist in one of the Nordic countries' most famous trombone concerts, and the veteran Lawrence Foster rounds off the concert with Schumann's romantic second symphony. The work An American in Paris is a living musical postcard. "I want to portray the impressions an American tourist encounters when strolling the famous streets and boulevards of Paris, listening to the sounds of the city and absorbing the French atmosphere," said Gershwin himself. The American tourist is brought to life through a bluesy trumpet solo and sweeping, romantic melodies. The Danish composer and conductor Launy Grøndahl is best known for his wonderful trombone concerto from 1924. The trombone had a strong position in Denmark's musical life in the 20th century. It was due to talented musicians and composers who took an interest in the instrument, including Grøndahl and not least Carl Nielsen. Lawrence Foster and BFUng round off the concert evening with Schumann's 2nd Symphony. "For many days now I have heard in my heart drums and trumpets in C major. I don't know what will come of it," wrote Schumann to his friend Mendelssohn in 1845. Now we know that it was his second, and perhaps Beethoven-inspired, symphony that was created during a difficult time for the composer. The evening's conductor, Lawrence Foster, has conducted BFUng in the past and both he and the young musicians are looking forward to meeting again.

English

Verket An American in Paris er et levende musikalsk postkort. «Jeg ønsker å portrettere inntrykkene en amerikansk turist møter når han flanerer i Paris’ berømte gater og boulevarder, lytter til byens lyder og absorberer den franske atmosfæren», sa Gershwin selv. Den amerikanske turisten vekkes til live gjennom en bluesaktig trompetsolo og feiende, romantiske melodier.

Den danske komponisten og dirigenten Launy Grøndahl er mest kjent for sin fantastiske trombonekonsert fra 1924. Trombonen hadde en sterk posisjon i Danmarks musikkliv på 1900-tallet. Det skyldtes dyktige musikere og komponister som fattet interesse for instrumentet, deriblant Grøndahl og ikke minst Carl Nielsen.

Lawrence Foster og BFUng runder av konsertkvelden med Schumanns 2. symfoni. «I mange dager nå har jeg i mitt indre hørt trommer og trompeter i C-dur. Jeg vet ikke hva som vil komme ut av det», skrev Schumann til sin venn Mendelssohn i 1845. Nå vet vi at det var hans andre, og kanskje Beethoven-inspirerte, symfoni som ble til i en vanskelig tid for komponisten.

Kveldens dirigent, Lawrence Foster, har dirigert BFUng tidligere og både han og de unge musikerne gleder seg til å møtes igjen.
