Charles Dutoit, conductor
Lucijan Marija Škerjanc, Mařenka
Igor Stravinsky, Jeu de cartes
Camille Saint-Saëns, Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78
As a festive introduction to the new season, the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra will perform under the baton of the celebrated Swiss maestro Charles Dutoit. The award-winning conductor – recently, in 2017, he received the prestigious gold medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society – has been the principal guest conductor of the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra since 2018. Previously, he served as the artistic director and chief conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London, the chief conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the artistic director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and the musical director of the Verbier Festival Orchestra, to name just a few of his most important positions. As a guest of many renowned orchestras, he has performed throughout the world and created a rich discography. He will open his appearance in Ljubljana with a performance of the choreographic symphonic poem Mařenka by Lucijan Marija Škerjanc. Written in 1940, the story follows the tragic fate of a girl from Vienna. The present performance forms part of the Slovenian Philharmonic’s tribute to the composer in the new season, marking the 120th anniversary of his birth. This is followed by Igor Stravinsky’s Jeu de cartes, which was written four years after Škerjanc’s work, and Camille Saint-Saëns’ famous Organ Symphony, which is dedicated to Franz Liszt, who died in the same year that this symphonic masterpiece was created.
