Milhaud
The Creation of the World
Britten
Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge
Stravinsky
Concerto in E-flat, Dumbarton Oaks
Philip Glass
Symphony No. 3
Maestro Tovey conducts a magnificent concert that explores a world of exhilarating soundscapes. French composer Darius Milhaud’s The Creation of the World is rich, exotic music written for a ballet based on African folk mythology. The Third Symphony of American composer Philip Glass is a fascinating piece of sonic architecture for string orchestra, and Stravinsky’s Dumbarton Oaks is a beautiful neo-classical Chamber concerto.
