Orchestre National de Lille & Lawrence Power / Rachmaninov & Miller

Powerful emotions on a grand scale The Orchestre National de Lille invites you to an evening where fragility and grandeur go hand in hand. Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony – born of doubt, crowned with triumph – overflows with wistful melodies and searing passion. Tremble before the mystery of life and love: that elusive feeling lies at the heart of Cassandra Miller’s poignant viola concerto. Inspired by the words of the philosopher Simone Weil, the music dares to tremble, lament and mourn. Beauty so intense, it hurts!
