  • Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, BWV 1048
  • Erkki-Sven Tüür Violin Concerto No. 2 ‘Angel’s Share’
  • Perotin Viderunt Omnes (arr. Marmen)
  • Philip Glass Symphony No. 3

Performed By

  • Hugo Ticciati Violin/Director

Last season in this same venue, Hugo Ticciati brought audiences under his spell before a note was even played by performing a pre concert meditation and then manipulating the space of this most enchanting venue by having the orchestra play out of sight, in front of the audience and even behind them at one point. Be there to find out what this melodic magician does with our magical orchestra this night. Tonight he is aided in his pursuits by the works of Bach, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Perotin and Philip Glass.
