Wild Echoes

The evening

Anna Handler ConductorStefan Dohr HornSebastian Hill Tenor

The horn is one of the orchestra’s most recognisable voices — ancient, searching, capable of tenderness and fire in the same breath.

Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 4 is a pure delight. Written with warmth and mischief for a friend, it sparkles from first note to last. Britten’s Serenade draws on poetry united by the theme of night, the tenor voice and horn joining forces for a sound that is hauntingly beautiful. Brahms saved the best for last: hi Fourth, and final, Symphony. It builds to a conclusion of such bristling, defiant intensity it stops you in your tracks. Horn legend Stefan Dohr joins tenor Sebastian Hill and conductor Anna Handler for a night to remember.
