Guest conductor Mei-Ann Chen delivers one of Sibelius' most popular symphonies and a blast of Mediterranean melody in her WSO debut. Is there music with a sunnier melody and higher spirits than Edouard Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole? WSO’s brilliant concertmaster Gwen Hoebig reveals the music’s fragrant tunes and Spanish tang with flair. Jean Sibelius — the most original symphonic voice since Beethoven! We mark the 150th anniversary of his birth with one of his most heroic statements, the Fifth Symphony. Known for its otherworldly horn-calls and triumphant finale, it is in Donald Francis Tovey’s words: “Thor swinging the hammer.”
