Enigma Variations & Britten
Principal Guest Conductor Tabita Berglund leads the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on a tour of England's musical moods on Sunday, November 1, at 3 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes plays Britten's Piano Concerto, and tickets are available online.
The program opens with Anna Clyne's Within Her Arms, a tender tribute to her late mother. Then Leif Ove Andsnes, a Gilmore Artist Award recipient, takes the piano for Britten's concerto, a piece he has long championed. Elgar's Enigma Variations closes things out, with the beloved "Nimrod" painting affectionate portraits of the composer's friends.
