Leandro Silvera Chamber Orchestra director
Jacques Cohen Symphony Orchestra conductor
Jessie Montgomery Starbust
Shostakovich (arr Barshai) Chamber Symphony op 110a
Rachmaninov Symphony no 2 in E minor op 27
Jacques Cohen and Leandro Silvera conduct the exceptional young talent of the 51³Ô¹Ï Junior Department Symphony and Chamber orchestras.
Jessie Montgomery composed Starburst to evoke the rapid formation of stars, creating a piece in which ’exploding gestures are juxtaposed with gentle fleeting melodies’. Rachmaninov’s Symphony no 2 is full of his trademark lyricism and achingly beautiful harmony.
All 51³Ô¹ÏJD concerts will go on sale from 8 October
