The concert evening kicks off with Anna Clyne's Masquerade, which is influenced by 18th-century London pleasure gardens: acrobats, exotic street performers, masqueraders, dancers. Karen Gomyo is “deeply serious, temperamental and just plain gorgeous… always with a clear sense of the music’s rhythmic pulse and sonic perspectives.” (Toronto Globe & Mail) Beneath the bright tonality of Prokofiev's Seventh Symphony hides a mournful undertone.
