Beethoven’s First
Rautavaara Pelimannit (The Fiddlers) Op 1
Clyne Time and Tides *Co-commission
Beethoven Symphony No 1 in C, Op 21
Pekka Kuusisto takes on the dual role of conductor and violin soloist.
Finnish musician Pekka Kuusisto is one of the freshest and most original talents in orchestral music today. In this concert he takes on the dual role of soloist and director, giving the Australian première of Time and Tides, a violin concerto specially written for him by Anna Clyne and co-commissioned by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
Described by The Scotsman as ‘a fiendishly challenging, deeply extrovert piece’, Time and Tides draws upon maritime-themed folk songs from Britain, Finland and America. Used as a starting point, the folk songs take on ever more complex iterations, guided by the extraordinary musicianship of Pekka Kuusisto.
After the folk-song inspired first half, Kuusisto steps up to the podium to conduct Beethoven’s bold and inventive Symphony No 1.
Time and Tides was co-commissioned by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra with thanks to private donors.
