Intérprete: Michael Sweeney

Young Russian maestro Maxim Emelyanychev makes his Toronto Symphony with a dip into Russian imperial ballet. 

There are musical moments that lift you up into a jet stream you ride till your feet are on the pavement again. Last evening in Koerner Hall was a flow of such moments as the Amici Chamber Ensemble celebrated their first set of twenty-five musical years.

Bassoonist Michael Sweeney talks about Mozetich’s lush and evocative concerto, ahead of performances with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra later this autumn.
