Marin Alsop conducts depictions of nature

Nature, its beauty and endangerment are the themes of this concert, which takes us all around the world. It begins with a new work by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen, who was inspired by her native Lapland. Brett Dean’s Fire Music draws on a devastating bushfire in Australia in 2009, Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring takes us to North America, while Heitor Villa-Lobos’s Chôros No. 10 echoes the birdsong of the Amazon. Conductor Marin Alsop makes her debut with the Philharmoniker.
