Johan Julius Christian Jean Sibelius
A singapore premiere
30 March 2008 / Sunday / 7.30pm

brought to you by The Philharmonic Orchestra / Singapore
Lim Yau / Conductor
Northern Exposure. Loneliness. Individualism. Desire to be significant. Respected.
Sibelius is in the high period of the early 1900s, where artists sought their own style; one of which remains deeply admired today by fans, musicians and scholars alike.
New world open when he unveiled the intellectual monolith of the Fourth Symphony, a work whose austerity and ingeniuty still drops jaws. His glorious Second Symphony remains a concert favourite, a legacy of Romantic magnificence and one symbol of Sibelius deeply human heart.
The two symphonies form indispensible chapters in an epic symphonic journey that The Philharmonic Orchestra is undertaking. Follow the Philharmonic Orchestra into the cosmic, then join them in celebration of the irrepressible human spirit.
