Young Australian violin sensation, Emmalena Huning, is at the start of what will likely be a brilliant career, and New Plymouth audiences will be the first in New Zealand to see her, as she performs the stunning Sibelius Violin Concerto with Taranaki Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Adam Jasinski. Emmalena has won many prizes and competitions in Australia, and soon will take up a prestigious scholarship to study with Professor György Pauk at the Royal Academy Of Music in London, one of an elite group of selected students.
The demanding Sibelius concerto is one of the great works in the violin repertoire, and this will be a unique opportunity to see it performed live, by a soloist we are all bound to hear more about in the future.
Long before film and television’s popular “Nordic Noir” genre brought us stark, brooding landscapes, Sibelius had depicted musically the mystical beauty and aching isolation of the north, as well as the humour and resilience of the people that inhabit it.
The concert also includes two movements of the well-known Karelia Suite by Sibelius (famously used to accompany New Zealand landscapes in an Expo’70 promotional film), and Symphony No. 2 by Denmark’s best-known composer, Carl Nielsen. Titled “The Four Temperaments”, it explores the range of human moods and emotions, based on the ancient Greek theory of the humours influencing our dispositions.
The orchestra will be augmented by guest players from around the region to present these outstanding, large-scale works. Make sure you and your friends are part of this epic musical experience.
A video clip of Emmalena is attached below:
