Leandro Silvera Chamber Orchestra director
Jacques Cohen Symphony Orchestra conductor
Jessie Montgomery Starbust
Shostakovich (arr Barshai) Chamber Symphony op 110a
Rachmaninov Symphony no 2 in E minor op 27
Jacques Cohen and Leandro Silvera conduct the exceptional young talent of the RCM Junior Department Symphony and Chamber orchestras.
Jessie Montgomery composed Starburst to evoke the rapid formation of stars, creating a piece in which ’exploding gestures are juxtaposed with gentle fleeting melodies’. Rachmaninov’s Symphony no 2 is full of his trademark lyricism and achingly beautiful harmony.
All RCMJD concerts will go on sale from 8 October
