Joshua Weilerstein, artistic director of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, conducts the Guildhall Chamber Orchestra's performance on 27 October 2021 in a concert that shines a light on works by Polish, British and American composers.
We caught up with Joshua to ask him a few questions about the programme, what he's most looking forward to about the performance and what he enjoys about working with Guildhall musicians.
Featuring Roxanna Panufnik’s harp concerto, 'Powers & Dominions', alongside her late father’s 'Harmony', a poem for chamber orchestra, this evening celebrates the power of music in bringing people together.
‘I’m on a mission to shout from the rooftops the beauty of all these different faiths’ music. It’s about bringing us together’ (Roxanna Panufnik, Gramophone).
William Grant Still composed over 150 works, including 'Mother and Child', originally a movement from his 1943 Suite for Violin and Piano and later expanded for string orchestra.
Staying in America, the performance concludes with Aaron Copland’s 'Appalachian Spring' suite. Originally a collaboration with choreographer and dancer Martha Graham, the resulting score has become an enduringly popular concert work that is performed in halls across the world.
