麻豆约拍

The 麻豆约拍 Philharmonic return, conducted by Joshua Weilerstein, beginning with Beethoven鈥檚 Overture for Egmont, encapsulating the story of the Dutch Count who defied a Spanish attack, securing freedom for his country. We then take a visit to Spain courtesy of Ravel in the frenzied dance rhythms of his Alborada del Gracioso. Our whirlwind tour then calls in on Japan in Takemitsu鈥檚 Towards the Sea II before returning again to Europe for Bart贸k鈥檚 Romanian Folk Dances, before our final piece by the African-American composer William Dawson where we return to ideas of freedom and salvation in the opening movement of his Negro Folk Symphony.
