Piano Concerto No. 2

Parsifal Suite (arr. Gourlay)

Approved

Richard Farnes returns to conduct the SOI in a concert featuring works by John Williams, Brahms, and Wagner. The concert opens with Williams’ iconic Imperial March from Star Wars. Being featured not only in films but also in advertisements, this work is one of the most performed and celebrated pieces of music in orchestral repertoire. Pavel Kolesnikov also returns to join the SOI in Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto.

Brahms composed this concerto 22 years after his first, dedicating it to his teacher, and wrote to Clara Schumann: “I want to tell you that I have written a very small piano concerto with a very small and pretty scherzo.” This was the self-critical composer describing a giant work!

The concert concludes with a suite from Wagner’s Parsifal constructed by Andrew Gourlay. “Parsifal surely contains some of Wagner’s greatest orchestral writing… I therefore set about constructing an orchestral suite that would give us more time to settle into the music of Parsifal. The result is forty-five minutes of continuous music from the opera” – Gourlay.
