Secret Symphony 1
Hammer Hall
Thu 19 May 2026
Secret Symphony is a work that unfolds like a hidden narrative, revealing its character gradually rather than all at once. From the first quiet gestures, the music suggests something just out of reach — a motif half-spoken, harmonies that shimmer and dissolve before they fully settle. The piece draws the listener inward, rewarding attention with subtle shifts in colour, texture, and emotional weight.
As it develops, contrasting ideas emerge: luminous passages that bloom with warmth, set against darker, more unsettled undercurrents. Themes appear in fragments, intertwine, and transform, as though the music is uncovering its own meaning in real time. The orchestration moves fluidly between transparency and density, allowing solo lines to surface briefly before being absorbed back into a broader, surging landscape of sound.
In its closing moments, Secret Symphony does not so much resolve as it exhales. The final phrases feel reflective rather than triumphant, leaving a trace of mystery in the air. It is a piece that lingers — not because it answers every question, but because it invites the listener to carry its secrets forward.
