Resident conductor Michael Laus brings the MPO Concert Series to a close with an enticing programme. Meet Stravinsky’s Pulcinellabased on excerpts from operas by Pergolesi, which marks the beginning of his neo-classical style. He moulded the music as his own by spicing up the 18th-century harmony and combining instruments to create new timbres.

Brazilian composer Villa-Lobos created what is today undoubtedly the most popular piece for the soprano saxophone, highly acclaimed for its virtuosity and spirited writing. The passionate melodious waves of Rachmaninov’s Symphony, conclude this evening of fiery and passionate music.
