Colin Matthews Three Songs Without Words (World Premiere) 8′\nSzymanowski Violin Concerto No.2 23′\nRachmaninov Symphony No.3 39′\n\nDream of far-off lands with sensuous, nostalgic music by Szymanowski and Rachmaninov.\n\nConductor Nicholas Collon brings us a fantastic evening of early 20th-century works, from Rachmaninov’s brilliantly brooding symphony to Ravel’s enchanting miniature worlds.\n\nWritten whilst in Switzerland, the lovely melodies of Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony yearn for the Russian composer’s lost homeland.\n\nIn Szymanowski’s lyrical Second Violin Concerto, he pays homage to the folk music of the Tatra mountains of his native Poland, brought to life by one of the Hallé’s incredible Leaders, Emily Davis.\n\nFleeting and fantastical, Ravel’s songs have been arranged by composer Colin Matthews. Glimpse a wintry city ravaged by the winds of change, a shimmering dreamscape and a sparkling Christmas scene.\n\nPre-concert event at 6.30pm\n\nSponsored by PZ Cussons
