PERFORMERS
TRIINU PIIRSALU violin, ERSO, conductor/violin CANDIDA THOMPSON
The opening concert of the “Pure Gold” series is dedicated to the beautiful and supple sound of string instruments. Joining ERSO on stage is Candida Thompson, Artistic Director of Amsterdam Sinfonietta and one of today’s most brilliant leaders in string and chamber music. The evening opens with Igor Stravinsky’s virtuous and rhythmically vibrant Concerto in D for String Orchestra. In Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s double concerto, the Sinfonia concertante, Thompson performs as a soloist alongside the talented young Estonian violinist Triinu Piirsalu. The second half of the concert features one of the most beloved works in classical music: Mozart’s phenomenal Symphony No. 40. Audiences will also experience the excitement of the orchestra performing without a conductor, as Candida Thompson takes on the dual role of soloist and concertmaster.
