This program of works for string orchestra (with touches of percussion) celebrates artistic figures. To mark Arvo Pärt’s 90th year, we present two works: one, like a slow-motion sonorous waterfall in memory of Benjamin Britten; the other, short and light, inspired by the Eiffel Tower and Gustave Eiffel’s elegant designs. Louie’s fantasy reverie, with cosmic motifs and traces of classical repertoire, honours Glenn Gould. Eight solo violinists speed through Norman’s dazzling convergence of Italian Futurism, Baroque, and a racecar video game. Adding zest are Mark Fewer’s virtuosic improvisations in Hillborg’s tribute to Bach, and a full-throttle string version of Purple Haze evoking Jimi Hendrix.
