Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra: Shostakovich and Morricone

Travel to the stunning Concertgebouw (Amsterdam) for a performance by the world-renowned Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Santu-Mattias Rouvali, Chief Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra, leads an energizing program featuring two Dutch premieres: Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Metacosmos, a fascinating "balance between beauty and chaos," and Ennio Morricone's UT, a concerto for trumpet performed by RCO Principal Trumpet Omar Tomasoni. Rounding off the program is Shostakovich's final completed symphony, No. 15 in A, the product of a burst of creativity in the early 1970s. Tonally expansive and delightfully referential, the symphony seemed to Shostakovich to "[appear] in my mind with total clarity from first note to last. There was nothing left for me to do but write it down."
