After Work: French Colours
The final After Work event of the autumn takes us on a journey through French music. Led by our artistic partner Ryan Bancroft, the program features Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin and Bizet’s only symphony C major.
W. A. Mozart and Maksym Berezovskyi studied in Bologna at the same time. In addition to these two composers, the concert conducted by Olha Dondyk features Schubert’s Symphony No. 6, with Irina Zahharenkova as the soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto.

Ukrainian composers were responsible for the early development of Russian music in the 18th century, with Maksym Berezovskyi (c. 1745–1777) being the first. He was sent from the court of Catherine the Great to study in Bologna, where he completed a short symphony that was discovered in the Vatican in 2000. At the same time, the young Mozart was studying in Bologna. His Piano Concerto No. 23, filled with delicate emotions, was completed in Vienna some twenty years later. The soloist is the orchestra’s long-time collaborator, the ever-lovely Irina Zahharenkova. In 1818, Vienna was gripped by Rossini fever, which the 21-year-old Schubert explored in his spirited and optimistic Sixth Symphony. The young Ukrainian conductor Olha Dondyk makes her debut with Tapiola Sinfonietta.
