SUMMARY:Rachmaninov Two
DESCRIPTION:Tchaikovsky Polonaise and Waltz from Eugene Onegin\, Op. 24* Side-by-Side\nRachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor\, Op. 18\nRachmaninov Symphony No. 2 in E minor\, Op. 27 \nLise de la Salle piano\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nThere’s a reason Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is the most popular work of its kind ever written. From lonely chords\, this iconic score hurtles towards a thundering climax via a succession of irresistible melodies – athletic one moment and heart-rending the next. Six years later\, the composer freed himself from political turmoil with a stretch in Dresden that would become one of the most productive of his career. The standout result was a symphony powered by melody that encompasses infernal whirlwinds\, passionate declarations of love and heartfelt reflections of peace. French pianist Lise de la Salle joins us for this feast of peak Rachmaninov\, opening with livewire dances from his great forbear Tchaikovsky. \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nPre-concert recital 18:30\nSupported by The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust

SUMMARY:Beethoven Pastoral
DESCRIPTION:Mendelssohn The Hebrides Overture\, Op. 26\, ‘Fingal’s Cave’\nVaughan Williams The Lark Ascending\nWagner Forest Murmurs from Siegfried\, WWV 86C\nBeethoven Symphony No. 6 in F major\, Op. 68\, ‘Pastoral’ \nLeia Zhu violin\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nBe transported from the urbane perfection of the Sheldonian Theatre into the mysteries of the forest\, the wilds of the hills and valleys and the tempests of the open seas. Marios Papadopoulos conducts a concert filled with music inspired by nature\, from Mendelssohn’s dizzying orchestral boat trip on heaving Scottish seas to the calm idylls of Wagner’s murmuring forest and the ‘silver chain of sound’ of Vaughan Williams’s soaring lark. The concert culminates in Beethoven’s symphonic visit to the Austrian countryside – in his own words\, a ‘ramble for a while through bushes\, woods\, under trees\, through grass\, and around rocks\,’ that includes storms\, partying\, feasting and dancing. \nPanel Discussion\, 18:30\nChaired by Cameron Hepburn\, Professor of Environmental Economics at the University of Oxford. Leading climate experts and musicians come together to discuss the inspiring effect of the natural world in music.\nFree admission.

SUMMARY:Janine Jansen
DESCRIPTION:Marcello Palazzo Trails* world premiere\nMendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor\, Op. 64\nSchubert Symphony No. 9 in C major\, D. 944\, ‘The Great’ \nJanine Jansen violin\nMarcello Palazzo conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nFrom its monolithic opening theme kick-starting a cycle of inexorable momentum like a giant pendulum\, to the breathless dash of its finale\, Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 of 1828 offers one of the most riveting journeys of any symphonic work. Along the way he appears to push at the boundaries of his age with grinding harmonies\, protruding limbs and unstoppable waltz-like rhythms. No wonder it attracted the title ‘Great’. Marios Papadopoulos conducts Schubert’s final symphony here having been joined by a true violin great\, Janine Jansen\, for the radiant song that is Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. The concert opens with a world premiere of a work selected from last year’s composers’ workshop\, conducted by the composer himself.

SUMMARY:InClassica International Music Festival: Grand Finale
DESCRIPTION:Rossini Overture to William Tell\nAlexey Shor Violin Concerto No. 4 in B minor\nDvořák Symhpony No. 9 in E minor\, Op. 95\, ‘From the New World’ \nStella Chen violin\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nThe 2024 InClassica International Music\, organised by SAMIT Event Group\, comes to a thundering close on Thursday 15th February\, with a Grand Finale featuring the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and their Founder and Music Director\, Marios Papadopoulos (UK)\, alongside US violinist Stella Chen\, the recipient of the 2020 Avery Fisher Career Grant\, 2020 Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award and Robert Levin Award\, top prize winner of the Tibor Varga International Violin Competition\, youngest ever prize winner of the Menuhin Competition and Winner of the 2019 Queen Elisabeth Competition. Presenting a packed programme of seminal favourites\, the ensemble will open with the famous rousing Overture from Gioachino Rossini’s 1829 opera William Tell\, before Chen joins them for a performance of Composer-in-Residence Alexey Shor’s  Violin Concerto No. 4 in B minor\, a work in three movements exhibiting all the hallmarks of Shor’s characteristic lyrical and tonal approach to contemporary music. Finally\, the evening\, and InClassica 2024 itself\, shall conclude with the resounding notes of Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9\, ‘From the New World’\, one of the most beloved and popular symphonies of all time. Composed while Dvořák was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America\, the work shows strong influences from traditional Native American and African-American spiritual songs\, and was immediately an instant success upon its premiere at Carnegie Hall in 1893\, before going on to delight concert-goers all around the world for more than 130 years.

I:104\, ‘London’ \nAnna-Liisa Bezrodny violin\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nMarios Papadopoulos conducts our remarkable Associate Concertmaster Finnish-Estonian violinist Anna-Liisa Bezrodny in music close to her heart – the violin concerto by the composer who defined Finland in sound\, Jean Sibelius.

SUMMARY:Mozart Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Mozart Piano Concerto No. 22 in E flat major\, K. 482\nMozart Requiem in D minor\, K. 626 \nAlexandra Lowe soprano\nRebecca Leggett mezzo-soprano\nThomas Elwin tenor\nJames Atkinson baritone\nSchola Cantorum\nMarios Papadopoulos piano/conductor \nIn contrast to Fauré’s Requiem heard just two weeks earlier at the Sheldonian Theatre\, Mozart’s brims with music of the utmost imposition. In truth\, there’s no need for contextual intrigue to heighten the drama and poignancy of Mozart’s Requiem\, because the composer delivered both and more in his music in a piece that moves from the dark clouds of fate to the piercing light of optimism. After one of the composer’s most sophisticated piano concertos\, Marios Papadopoulos conducts the Requiem here with the Schola Cantorum of Oxford and a first-class team of vocal soloists. \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nPre-concert recital 18:30

SUMMARY:James Ehnes plays Schumann
DESCRIPTION:Weber Overture to Oberon\, J. 306\nSchumann Violin Concerto in A minor\, Op. 129\nSchumann Symphony No. 3 in E flat major\, Op. 97\, ‘Rhenish’ \nJames Ehnes violin\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nRobert Schumann’s forceful imagination\, his inquisitive mind\, his passion for literature and his music of rare poetry exerted an influence on European creativity for decades. This concert culminates in one of the most propulsive symphonies ever written: Schumann’s captivating orchestral portrait of the deep and majestic River Rhine\, complete with its splendid procession in salute to Cologne Cathedral. Before it\, James Ehnes plays the composer’s Violin Concerto – a piece thought lost until it was discovered\, with help from a séance\, in the 1930s. In its intricate writing\, Schumann’s work has been compared to the plotting characters in a play – precisely what Weber sought to achieve in the overture to his enchanting opera Oberon.

SUMMARY:Anne-Sophie Mutter
DESCRIPTION:Violin Concerto to be announced\nWagner Prelude & Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde\nStrauss Don Juan\, Op. 20 \nAnne-Sophie Mutter violin\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nLegendary violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter makes a welcome return to Oxford in what promises to be a phenomenal performance. Passion sings its way through the second half of the concert: ecstasy courses through Strauss’s depiction of the hedonist Don Juan\, while love flows through the climactic tension of the most arresting orchestral music from Wagner’s opera on infatuation and transcendence\, Tristan und Isolde.

SUMMARY:Beethoven Five
DESCRIPTION:Farrenc Overture No. 2 in E flat major\, Op. 24* Side-by-Side\nBeethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor\, Op. 37\nBeethoven Symphony No. 5 in C minor\, Op. 67 \nJavier Perianes piano\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nBeethoven had a transformative effect on both the symphony and the piano concerto\, expanding the expressive range and physical dimensions of both. Few works demonstrate that better than the composer’s pivotal Piano Concerto No. 3 – in which the composer brings new drama and tension to the form – and the symphony with the most famous opening gambit in history. Beethoven’s Fifth is both a defiantly optimistic symphony and a manifesto for a new form of musical design that couldn’t help but influence future generations\, not least the equally headstrong Louise Farrenc\, whose music opens this concert. Javier Perianes joins Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra for some of the most striking orchestral works of the 19th century. \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nPre-concert recital 18:30

DESCRIPTION:Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F major\, Op. 90\nRachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor\, Op. 30 \nSir Stephen Hough piano\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nOne of the great pianists of our time brings us one of the great piano concertos of all time. Sir Stephen Hough\, whose recording of the Rachmaninov concerto was a Sunday Times Record of the Year\, joins Marios Papadopoulos to take on the Everest of the piano literature – the Russian composer’s ardent and immense Piano Concerto No. 3. Before it\, a work both menacing and mellifluent\, the exquisite picture of radiant beauty and dark foreboding that is Brahms’s Symphony No. 3. It will give the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra plenty of opportunity to display both its outstanding soloists and its warm\, embracing sound.

SUMMARY:Mischa Maisky
DESCRIPTION:Henry Le Feber Robertson Oublié*  world premiere\nDvořák Cello Concerto in B minor\, Op. 104\nDvořák Symphony No. 9 in E minor\, Op. 95\, ‘From the New World’ \nMischa Maisky cello\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nWhen Dvořák first heard America’s spirituals and plantation songs\, he wrote that they would form ‘the future music of this country’. Rather sooner\, the spirit of those melodies made their way into Dvořák’s most popular work. In his ‘New World’ symphony\, the composer wove the songs of native America into music of intense warmth\, drama and spontaneity. Nature shines through this most gregarious music\, but so does the sense of sadness and longing that also colours the composer’s wistful Cello Concerto – another moving product of the Czech composer’s years spent expatriated across the Atlantic. Musical icon Mischa Maisky joins Marios Papadopoulos and the orchestra for this concert of heartfelt letters from America. The second premiere selected from last year’s composers’ workshop opens the concert.

SUMMARY:The Firebird
DESCRIPTION:Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre\, Op. 40\nShor Violin and Viola Concerto\nMussorgsky Night on Bald Mountain (arr. Rimsky-Korsakov)\nStravinsky The Firebird Suite (1919) \nMarc Bouchkov violin\nDavid Aaron Carpenter viola\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nMusic would never be the same after Igor Stravinsky unleashed The Firebird in 1910 – a ballet score that would herald the pictorial powers with which the composer would shock and enchant generations of theatregoers. Stravinsky found the perfect subject matter in the collision of the evil magician Kaschchei with the just and irrepressible Firebird. The suite of music from the ballet ends in an infernal dance ripe for Stravinsky’s own brand of violent syncopation. Marios Papadopoulos conducts it here\, alongside wickedly entertaining music from Saint-Saëns\, and an atmospheric mountain climb from Mussorgsky. The concert is complete with the virtuosic and lyrical concerto for violin and viola by Alexey Shor\, our Composer-in-Residence\, highlighting the instruments’ poetic qualities while seamlessly blending their technical brilliance and emotional depth.

SUMMARY:Bach Mass in B Minor
DESCRIPTION:Bach Mass in B minor\, BWV 232 \nMadison Nonoa soprano\nAnna Devin soprano\nKathryn Rudge mezzo-soprano\nJames Gilchrist tenor\nJames Platt bass \nOxford Philharmonic Choir\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nMarios Papadopoulos assembles a team of front-rank soloists and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir at the Sheldonian Theatre for a performance of Bach’s monumental Mass in B minor. In the late 1740s\, Bach returned to two movements of the Latin Mass written a decade and a half earlier\, expanding them into what many consider his towering achievement. The B minor Mass would prove the culmination of the composer’s work in sacred music\, establishing new ways of organising sounds\, words\, harmonies and keys while creating the most epic of journeys in faith and music.

DESCRIPTION:Bach Prelude from Partita No. 3 in E major\, BWV 1006 (arr. Mendelssohn)\nBach Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor\, BWV 1004 (arr. Mendelssohn)\nMendelssohn Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor\, Op. 49 \nSoloists of the Oxford Philharmonic\nMarios Papadopoulos piano \nIt was Felix Mendelssohn who brought Bach back into currency in nineteenth-century Germany. In addition to reviving countless works by his Leipzig forebear\, Mendelssohn made his own arrangements\, including his expanding of the poised calligraphy of Bach’s Partitas for solo violin. This performance of two of Mendelssohn’s most effective transcriptions is capped by the composer’s own Piano Trio No. 1\, a joyous conversation for violin\, cello and piano in which the thunderously dramatic alternates with the gently elegiac.

DESCRIPTION:Mendelssohn Hebrides Overture\, Op. 26 * Side-by-Side\nMendelssohn Piano Concerto in G minor\, Op. 25\nMendelssohn Symphony No. 3 in A minor\, Op. 56\, ‘Scottish’ \nNuron Mukumi piano\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor* \nWandering the streets of Edinburgh and rambling the hillsides of the Hebrides in 1829\, Mendelssohn was overcome. Nothing\, apparently\, had prepared him for the impact of the dramatic Caledonian coastline and imposing capital. Mendelssohn’s splendid symphonic souvenir of Scotland moves from dark standing stones to Scottish folk tunes across forty minutes of free-flowing\, rugged musical brilliance. Marios Papadopoulos conducts it here after the sea-spray of the composer’s Hebrides Overture and the passionate G minor Piano Concerto under the agile fingers of Nuron Mukumi\, alumnus of the Oxford Piano Festival.

DESCRIPTION:Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major\, Op. 83*\nBrahms Symphony No. 4 in E minor\, Op. 98 \nMarios Papadopoulos piano/conductor\nMichael Papadopoulos conductor* \nMusic Director Marios Papadopoulos celebrates a landmark occasion as soloist in Brahms’s Piano Concerto in B flat major and conductor in the same composer’s Symphony No. 4. Brahms wrote the second of his concertos at the ripest moment of his productivity\, apparently able to animate any possible musical idea and to blend beauty with ferocity and drama with intimacy. Rising star Michael Papadopoulos\, makes his debut as conductor with the Oxford Philharmonic to provide an accompaniment of symphonic proportions to this\, the grandest of piano concertos of the Romantic era. After the interval\, Marios Papadopoulos steps on the podium to conduct Brahms’s Apollonian final symphony – a work conceived as a retreat from the world that reflects on the composer’s lifelong servitude and his luminous acceptance of the end of his creative and mortal lives.

His strikingly confident Symphony No. 1 of 1889 is cast in two parts: first the optimism and energy of youth; then the crisis of rejection and death. Yet Mahler’s symphony powers towards an exultant conclusion\, overtly popular in style and imbued with a new confidence – the confidence of life itself. Marios Papadopoulos conducts Mahler’s Titanic symphony here after the world premiere of Sisyphus by University of Oxford and OPO Composers’ Workshop alumnus Marcello Palazzo and another work from our Composer-in-Residence Alexey Shor: with unexpected twists in its traditional structure\, Shor’s Piano Concerto No. 1 blends nostalgia and exhilaration\, and features the remarkable soloist Behzod Abduraimov. \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nPre-concert recital 18:00
