Expect fireworks as the massed forces of the RSNO and Dunedin Consort meet on stage for the first time. In this concert 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 Symphony No. 39 that kicks off this fiery programme, performed undirected by Dunedin Consort’s world-class instrumentalists.
