Expect fireworks as the massed forces of the RSNO and Dunedin Consort meet on stage for the first time. In this, the first concert in a three-year partnership, the two orchestras perform side-by-side under the direction of Elim Chan in Jörg Widmann’s extraordinary clarinet concerto, Echo-Fragmente — with Widmann himself as the soloist. While the RSNO close the concert with Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 5, it is Haydn’s Sturm and Drang Symphony No. 39 that kicks off this fiery programme, performed undirected by Dunedin Consort’s world-class instrumentalists.
