Spring

Chief Conductor Johannes Fritzsch concludes our anniversary tribute to Zwickau's most famous son with his effervescent Symphony No.1, titled Spring. From the opening bars this symphony bursts full of life and celebrates the joys of Spring. Schumann regarded the premiere of his Symphony No.1 as one of the most important events of his artistic life. Based on a poem by Boettgher, the Spring Symphony depicts daffodils poking their little heads through the snow seeking warm sunshine in the meadows. Queensland Symphony Orchestra Principal Clarinet, Irit Silver, performs the ever popular and beautiful Clarinet Concerto by Mozart, a sparkling, lyrical work that never fails to charm.
