Alejandro de la Torre In D (world premiere)
Saint-Saëns Symphony no 3 in C minor op 78

Acclaimed conductor Chloé van Soeterstède returns for this season’s second Orchestral Masterworks concert.

The RCM Philharmonic performs Saint-Saëns' masterpiece dedicated to the memory of fellow composer Liszt. Novel in its scoring, the composer included a prominent part for organ notable for dominating the famous finale. Proud of his last symphony, Saint-Saëns remarked 'I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have accomplished here, I will never achieve again.'

Also featured is a world premiere by RCM Composition Competition winner Alejandro de la Torre.
