SCO: Grieg Piano Concerto

TARRODI                        Lucioles
GRIEG                              Piano Concerto
SIBELIUS                       Symphony No.5

Conductor                     Ryan Bancroft
Piano                               Eric Lu

Head north — to Norway’s dramatic fjords and the natural wonders of Finland and Sweden — in the company of California-born conductor Ryan Bancroft, and one of today’s most exciting young pianists.

Fellow American Eric Lu was just 20 when he wowed judges to win the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2018, and his insights and intellect have put him in high demand internationally. He brings his power and poetry to the Nordic melodies of Grieg’s timeless Piano Concerto.

Bancroft brings the concert to a resplendent close with a vision of swans in flight, courtesy of Sibelius’ euphoric Fifth Symphony, while Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi launches our northern explorations with a shimmering musical evocation of fireflies.
