The Kindred Spirits Orchestra returns to the CBC Glenn Gould Studio for a special concert featuring renowned European conductor Maestro\u00a0Ji\u0159\u00ed Petrdl\u00edk\u00a0and the internationally renowned Canadian pianist\u00a0Christina Petrowska-Quilico. Inspired by the little-known works of the 19th-century romantic composer Carl Maria von Weber, 20th-century composer Paul\u00a0Hindemith\u00a0weaves his own voice into the bombastic crowd-pleaser Symphonic Metamorphosis. Once hailed the \u201cCanadian Mozart,\u201d composer Andr\u00e9\u00a0Mathieu\u00a0wrote his long-lost Piano Concerto No. 4 at the youthful age of eighteen: a truly remarkable accomplishment for such an incredibly emotive work, mature beyond his years. Ahead of his time,\u00a0Prokofiev\u00a0explores dense and forceful orchestral textures, which the composer described as \u201ciron and steel\u201d in his rarely performed Symphony No. 2.<\/p>\n
