Strauss Don Juan
Grace-Evangeline Mason The Hart for soprano and orchestra (world premiere)
Mahler Symphony No.4
Ryan Wigglesworth conductor
Sophie Bevan MBE soprano
There’s nothing the human voice can’t do. In Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, it paints a picture of heaven at the end of a journey through blue skies, summer storms and shining mountain peaks. Meanwhile, Grace-Evangeline Mason’s exciting new piece has been created especially for our soloist Sophie Bevan, a soprano with a voice of pure gold. Strauss’ Don Juan kicks things off in truly swashbuckling style.
We are delighted to present the world premiere of a new work by Grace-Evangeline Mason. Grace won the Rushworth Composition Prize in 2017 and since then Liverpool Philharmonic has championed her talent, commissioning five works including the Hart – the piece featured in tonight’s concert. We’re proud to have supported Grace’s career over the years and to see her become one of the country’s most sought-after young composers.
