Conductor Hossein Pishkar leads the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra in a programme pairing Weber’s romantic orchestral writing with one of the most vivid works in the symphonic repertoire. QPO’s clarinettist Rony Moser takes centre stage for Weber’s virtuosic Clarinet Concerto No. 2, preceded by the dramatic Overture to Der Freischütz. The second half features Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in Ravel’s celebrated orchestration; a kaleidoscopic journey through colour, texture, and the power of the orchestra.
