Tung Auditorium – Orchestra dell’Arte: Four Romantics

An afternoon of joyful melodies from four famous romantic composers at the perfectly acoustic Tung Auditorium

These pieces were written within a few years of each other but in very different countries and the Suppé, Puccini and Borodin are all linked with operatic works. Young Puccini wrote his Opus 1 for his final exam at the Milan Conservatory!

  • Suppé Overture Die schöne Galathée
  • Saint-Saëns Violin Concerto No 3 in B minor Op. 61
  • Puccini Preludio Sinfonico in A major Op. 1
  • Borodin Symphony No. 2 in B minor

Pip Clarke is established as one of the leading violinists of her generation. A highly expressive and romantic artist, her concert touring has taken her all over the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

“Her tone warms and haunts the listener long after the music has ended”
