THE MUSIC
Beethoven’s Seventh is the most popular Beethoven symphony among musicians, noted for its dance-like rhythms and its mysterious slow movement which has been used in numerous film soundtracks from X-men: Apocalypse, The King’s Speech, Mr Holland’s Opus, Westworld, and Zardoz. This concert will be conducted by Trisdee na Pattalung.
Carmen, the timeless tale of the bad-girl gipsy and the bullfighter she falls for with tragic consequences, will be brought to life with many of the hits from the work, including the Habanera and the Toreador Song.
The delightful folk tale, Peter and the Wolf, will be narrated with the help of an orchestra that plays different roles, from a duck to a grumpy old grandpa. Lastly, Peer Gynt’s beloved lush and tuneful score by Grieg, including the ultimate scary troll song, ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ will provide the perfect ending to this magnificent musical extravaganza.
