This year, Music in the Cathedral features chamber music. Members of the Turku Philharmonic have assembled an astounding programme of Italian late Romantic music, full of rich harmonies and deeply felt emotions. Puccini’s Crisantemi [Chrysanthemums] is a sensitive elegy that is complemented by Respighi’s intimate Il Tramonto [Sunset], a meditation on the moment of sunset that brings back memories of a loved one. The concluding number is the compelling virtuoso String Quartet by none other than opera composer Verdi.
The length of the concert is approx. 1 h. No intermission.
