Miguel Harth-Bedoya Conductor
Anthony Ritchie Remember Parihaka
Sibelius Violin Concerto
Beethoven Symphony No. 3 Eroica
Conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya is a familiar face to New Zealand audiences, returning to conduct an offering of time-tested classics.
Anthony Ritchie was inspired to write Remember Parihaka as testament to the plight of Maori at Parihaka, forcibly removed from their Pa, unjustly arrested and imprisoned in 1881.
After a disastrous premiere, Sibelius reworked the concerto substantially, removing some of its most difficult sections. Even in this more commonly played revised version, the Concerto remains one of the most difficult works written for violin – while still retaining the power to move, inspire and exhilarate.
Beethoven’s Third Symphony also looms large as a great work. Its effect on 19th-century classical music was cataclysmic; after the Third, the symphony as a form was never the same again.
