UC CYO Presents: “Confessions”
Concert Two - "Confessions"
Christchurch School of Music is excited to present this concert where the UC Christchurch Youth orchestra performs a full concert of wonderful classical works. The highlight of the concert will be the much loved Sibelius Symphony No. 2 which Sibelius started in winter 1901 in Rapallo, Italy, shortly after the successful premiere of the popular Finlandia, and finished in 1902 in Finland. Sibelius said, "My second symphony is a confession of the soul."
Other pieces to feature in this concert are the Overture to Nabucco by Verdi, the UC CYO Concert Band performing the Second Suite in F for Military Band and the String Orchestra with the beautiful Sospiri by Elgar.
