Agenda

With his Second Symphony, Sergei Rachmaninoff confronts the silence left by the failure of his First. The work does not aim for display but for expansion: elongated melodies, unabashed lyricism, and dense orchestration with a continuous undercurrent of melancholy. From the very first bars, the music unfolds in waves, as the composer establishes an atmosphere of rare intensity. Composer-in-residence Carlos Simon offers a double concerto, an OPRL co-commission, written for international star violinist Hilary Hahn.

Sheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov brings to life a legendary Orient, as imagined by Russian Romanticism, in a richly sumptuous orchestration. The violin embodies the voice of the mythical storyteller Sheherazade, who suspends the sultan’s fury through the sheer power of her tales. The Belgian conductor David Reiland conducts the work before a special post-concert meeting with the audience. Trained under Simon Rattle and Roger Norrington, he is Music Director of the Orchestre national de Metz Grand Est and the Sinfonietta de Lausanne, and teaches conducting at the Conservatoire royal de Liège.

A masterpiece of musical Orientalism, whose popularity spanned the entire 19th century, Scheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1888) is one of the pinnacles of descriptive music, inspired by the stories of Sinbad, Prince Kalender, and the wondrous heroes of One Thousand and One Nights. Joyful, radiant, and full of beautiful, energetic melodies, the Trumpet Concerto by Joseph Haydn, premiered in Vienna in 1796, is the last jewel written for the instrument in the Classical era and one of the signature pieces of the young German trumpeter Simon Höfele, a leading figure in contemporary trumpet performance.
