Love is Love
Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by David Law - The Old Museum Concert Hall
Program Info: Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra David Law, conductor Ed le Brocq, narrator
Our final concert for the year celebrates queer composers in a program that offers colour, storytelling, and rhythmic energy.
Benjamin Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra pays homage to baroque composer Henry Purcell in a playful exploration that shows off the tone colours and capacities of the various sections of the symphony orchestra. Tchaikovsky and Bernstein then offer two very different perspectives on the tragic love story featured in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. Tchaikovsky’s interpretation is dramatic, filled with both love and conflict, while Bernstein’s reimagination transports the listener to 1950s Upper West Side Manhattan and infuses Puerto Rican–inspired dance music.
The concert will also feature a newly commissioned work for orchestra by Brisbane-based composer, Joe Twist.
Benjamin Britten - Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, opus 34: composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonrise Kingdom Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture Joe Twist - New Work Leonard Bernstein - Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
