The Academy of St Martin in the Fields join their Music Director, virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell with a programme featuring Brahms’ magnificent Violin Concerto in D major, showcasing some of Brahms’ richest writing, and Schumann’s vibrant, energetic and joyful ‘Spring’ Symphony No. 1 – both directed by Joshua from the violin.
The programme will also include Kevin Puts’ extraordinary ‘Earth’ – a contribution to Joshua’s ‘Elements’ project, consisting of five new commissions shaped around water, air, fire, space and earth. Shaped around a four-note ostinato and lyrical phrases that are traded between the violin and orchestra, Puts’ work is an example of the stability and endurance of this element, as well as acting as a reverent tribute to planet Earth.
This concert is kindly supported by ASMF Music Director’s Circle.
The position of the Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is generously supported by the Berry Charitable Foundation.
