Heyward Conducts Sibelius and Marsalis
Jonathon Heyward, conductor
Aubrey Foard, tuba
NIELSEN Helios Overture
WYNTON MARSALIS Tuba Concerto
SIBELIUS Symphony No. 5
Sibelius, inspired by watching sixteen swans take flight, imbued his Fifth Symphony with a mystical transcendence. Living jazz legend Wynton Marsalis channeled the saxophone pyrotechnics of Charlie “Bird” Parker into astonishing feats of virtuosity for classical tuba, played by the BSO’s own Principal Tuba Aubrey Foard. An instant hit following its 1903 debut, Nielsen's richly evocative Helios Overture depicts the sun rising and setting over the Aegean Sea.
