Cassandra Miller: Swim
Wessman: Trumpet Concerto
Schumann: Symphony no. 3

One of the themes in the programming of the Tapiola Sinfonietta this autumn is the symphonies of Robert Schumann. This concert features the grand Symphony no. 3, with handsome writing for horns. Sub-titled ‘Rhenisch’, the work reflects the cultural and historical significance of the Rhine river that flows through western Europe. Its focal point is Schumann’s vision of the Cathedral of Cologne in the fourth movement. Harri Wessman’s Trumpet Concerto (1987) is a classic in its genre, a breezy and agile virtuoso work whose modernity is concealed under a deceptively simple exterior. Canadian composer Cassandra Miller often draws inspiration from the works of other composers. Swim delves into the themes of Schumann’s Symphony no. 3, bringing them to the present day through associations with an essay by poet Anne Carson titled Swimming With My Brother.
