Music transcends today's actual boundaries, echoes the natural, musical boundaries of yesteryear, and above all shows how much music is the connecting factor between different cultural regions. Casco Phil takes you on a journey that began hundreds of years ago and introduces you to folk music from Hungary, stirring Klezmer from Romania, festive French music at the Court of Louis XIV, and much more. You will hear beautiful music from all corners of Europe as we take you on a complete 'tour musicale', from Western Europe to Central Europe and Northern Europe, and then via Eastern Europe to Southern Europe. The program takes a journey through Europe, taking as its starting point the current members of the European Union. At the same time we also take a journey in time. Music from the 16th century is discussed (by the Mechelen Philippus De Monte), but also baroque music, music from classicism and romanticism, a significant portion of folk music arranged for orchestra, and of course also a touch of accessible modern music. In this way, cultural regions are musically highlighted through the different epochs that have molded Europe into what it is today.

The concert will feature a selection of pieces that exemplify the spirit of friendship and collaboration, including the "Piano Trio in G Minor, Op. 26" by Antonin Dvořák, performed by Nadia Wirchnianski (piano), Asa Church (violin), and Ann Balderson (violoncello). The program also includes works by Josquin Des Prez, Thomas Ford, Hubert Waelrant, Thomas Morley, Pierre Passereau, and a collection of Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet by William Grant Still, showcasing the talents of Crystal Duffee (flute), Tamara Byram Mahl (oboe), Elizabeth Matera (clarinet), Thomas Wood (bassoon), and Bianca Sierra (horn).

This event is not just a concert but a celebration of the enduring bonds formed through music. Whether you're a lifelong fan of chamber music or curious to experience it for the first time, "The Music of Friendships" promises an afternoon of exquisite music that speaks to the heart of what it means to create and enjoy music together.

Don't miss this opportunity to warm up your January with beautiful music and the company of friends. We look forward to sharing this special day with you.

He’s joined by a pianist long admired by Hallé audiences, Nelson Goerner, whom BBC Music Magazine dubbed ‘An artist of a very high order’. He plays the concerto with which Rachmaninov, as composer and virtuoso pianist, swept the world. American composer Missy Mazzoli wrote her animated Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) in ‘the shape of a solar system’, elaborating that ‘it’s a piece that churns and rolls, that inches close to the listener, only to leap away at breakneck speed’. To conclude, Dvořák’s genial, sunny Eighth Symphony, bursting with the beguiling folk tunes of Bohemia.

Recent seasons have offered great experiences with great cellists, and this season is no exception. There is a rehearsal with Maximilian Hornung, who in 2018 enchanted the audience when he was a soloist in Bruch's Kol Nidrei. Now he is the soloist in the cello concerto that Elgar composed in the aftermath of the First World War. At that time, his music was already slowly falling out of fashion among concert audiences. Unlike Elgar's earlier violin concerto, which is lyrical and passionate, the cello concerto is mostly pensive and elegiac. Many years later, the concerto was reborn when the 20-year-old cellist Jacqueline du Pré practically made it her signature piece in 1965.
