CSO Down South: Myth and Melody

Join CSO concertmaster Kirsten Williams and pianist Edward Neeman when Rachmaninoff’s Red Riding Hood meets Franck’s violin sonata in a musical journey where myth meets melody. The performance opens with Elgar’s Chanson de Matin (Morning Song) and its contemplative companion, Chanson de Nuit (Song of the Night) for violin and piano. Debussy’s haunting The Sunken Cathedral rises from the depths of the Breton legend of an underwater cathedral off the coast of the Island of Ys. It rises at the composer’s instruction until the music swells to fortissimo. Rachmaninoff’s Études-Tableaux tells the tale of folk heroine Little Red Riding Hood meeting the growling wolf in the piano’s low register. Cesar Franck’s Sonata in A Major concludes the program: a chamber music favourite bursting with lyricism and playful spontaneity
