March 17 and 18, 2018
"Rhapsody and Reverie"
Featuring Pianist: Sarah Hagen

Under the direction of Karl Rainer the Orchestra will play 5 works, featuring the return of guest pianist Sarah Hagen, to play 2 of these. The Orchestra alone will play Max Bruch's "Serenade on a Swedish Folk Melody" - written in 6 movements, Carl Nielsen's "Bohemian-Danish Folktune", and Edward Elgar's "Great Malvern Suite", originally written as Vesper Voluntaries Op. 14 for organ and later arranged for string orchestra by Englishman, Steve Jones.

Sarah will team up with the NCO to play Gerald Finzi’s “Eclogue” and will be premiering a piece written for herself and the NCO by Richard Covey. The work, “Esplanade: In Memory of the Seven and the Seven” is based on 1887 Nanaimo Mining Disaster.
Picture
Hagen recently performed at the Island Fringe Festival in August, bringing to the stage her one-woman musical comedy show “Perk up, pianist!”, described as “one of the best hours I’ve ever spent at the Fringe” [The Coast (Halifax)]. 

​
​Sarah Hagen’s extensive touring has taken her from Tofino, BC to Goose Bay, Labrador and across the pond to Sweden, France, Germany and Italy. As a First Prize Winner in the 2013 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition, she was awarded the opportunity to perform solo at New York City’s Carnegie Hall. Awarded as the British Columbia Touring Council’s 2015 Touring Artist of the Year, and mentioned by The Guardian (Charlottetown) as the Best Classical Performance of 2014, her interpretations have been described as “outstandingly inventive" [University of Waterloo Gazette], ”played flawlessly” [ReviewVancouver] and “with great sensitivity and heart.” [Vernon Morning Star]
