Concert Series 2019-20
Rachmaninov’s mighty Symphony No. 2 sits at the centre of this concert given by Rebecca Miller and the Royal Holloway Symphony Orchestra. From a brooding opening, it moves through a lovely slow movement to an ecstatic close – one of the most triumphant in the repertoire. There’s more drama and still greater virtuosity in Mozart’s fizzing Flute Concerto in D Major K. 314 (285d), performed here by 2019 Royal Holloway Concerto Competition winner Sophie Hooper. Inspired by a colourful pyramid rising towards a golden sun, the concert opens with the glittering, Hilma of Klimt-inspired Pyramid by the American composer Molly Kien. This is a concert not to be missed!
