Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Vibrant, charismatic and energetic Dutch conductor Antony Hermus joins Â鶹ԼÅÄ NOW in Cardiff and Newtown this September with a varied programme of Wagenaar, Mozart and Sibelius.

A particular favourite of Hermus, Johan Wagenaar’s musical portrait, Cyrano de Bergerac, was written in 1905 and is deeply romantic in style. Heroism, elegant yearning and astonishing harmony meld with joy, humour and satire in this depiction of Bergerac, and displays a direct and endlessly tuneful spirit. Â鶹ԼÅÄ NOW’s Principal Oboe, Steven Hudson, steps out of the Orchestra and into the solo spot in Mozart’s Oboe Concerto, before we explore a symphony popular the world over, Sibelius’ true work of art, his Second Symphony.
