Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra
Andris Poga conductor
Jess Gillam saxophone
Tomasi Fanfares Liturgiques
Glazunov Saxophone Concerto
Shostakovich Symphony No.10
We’re delighted to welcome Jess back for Glazunov’s nostalgic concerto. We’ll then hear from Glazunov’s star pupil, Shostakovich, as guest conductor Andris Poga returns to explore the dark shadows and raw emotion of the gripping Tenth Symphony. The brass and percussion sections of the Orchestra blow open the concert with the uplifting Fanfares Liturgiques by French composer, Henri Tomasi.
