Errollyn Wallen Piano Concerto (world première), soloist Rebeca Omordia
Doreen Carwithen ODTAA Overture
Leonard Bernstein Symphonic Suite from On the Waterfront
An electrifying programme of world premières. The two piano concertos were delayed from their originally planned debuts in 2020. Angela Elizabeth Slater's originally scheduled to debut in December 2020 and Errollyn Wallen's for summer 2020, when the world ended up being locked down.
Also, we have two rarely-performed tours de force. Carwithen, a noted composer for film, wrote her overture ODTAA ("One Damn Thing After Another") in 1945, inspired by the eponymous John Masefield novel. Bernstein's Symphonic Suite from "On the Waterfront", originally the soundtrack from the multiple Oscar-winning film of 1954, is actually a single movement work, more like a tone poem in scope, and simmers with dramatic tension.
This concert has been supported by RVW Trust, Ambache Charitable Trust and PRS Women Make Music.
