Strauss Composer & Conductor
TIME: 7:30 PM till 9:00 PM
RAOUL LAY Conductor Jean Sibelius Concerto for violin and orchestra in D major This orchestral concert presents two masterpieces of the early 20th century. Although the musical depiction of one’s personal life was not uncommon, Richard Strauss’ work is a blatant realism of the family life, including arguments with his wife and screams of young children. Indeed, this multi-movement continuous work describes a twenty-four hour life-cycle in the Strauss household. Sibelius’ childhood dream of becoming a violin virtuoso is reflected in this concerto, in what can be coined as his first abstract work. This concert features in #Inhobbok, organized by the Ministry for Gozo. An exclusive Shuttle Service will be provided for patrons at a nominal fee of €2 . The service will run from the Mgarr Ferry Terminal following the arrival of the 6PM ferry. The return leg leaves at the end of the concert. Pre-booking is required on events@maltaorchestra.com
