Event details

The East Anglia Chamber Orchestra is delighted to return to The Apex with another exciting, romantic, and demanding programme.

Join us for a wonderful evening of inspiring music-making.

Under the baton of Jacques Cohen, the concert will begin with Wagner’s Prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Setting the scene of the famous guild’s singing contest and the triumph of true art, the prelude is both pompous and joyous.

The orchestra is then joined by the fabulous Siv Misund: the Norwegian mezzo-soprano whose voice has been described as “heartbreakingly beautiful.” She will bring her warm and luscious timbre to the performance of Elgar’s Sea Pictures. This setting of five poems, written for the Norwich Festival and premiered there in 1899, portrays both the fear and fascination created by the deep.

His Fourth Symphony was Brahms’ last and arguably greatest symphonic masterpiece. Eduard Hanslick described it as “like a dark well; the longer we gaze into it, the more brightly the stars shine back.” Resolutely in E minor, the symphony is a veritable tour de force and both intellectually and emotionally satisfying.
