Exploring his musical roots: conductor Duncan Ward chats about his jazz-inspired, Eastern European & French music coming up with the London Symphony Orchestra
[…] him to join them that evening, which he did, and then he went on a tour of UK traditional jazz festivals. He was 13, and most other musicians were in their 60s. In his later teens, he had a jazz fusion band, but since then jazz has rather taken a back seat though he admits that when he is somewhere like New York, he makes time to listen.His second concert with the LSO features Janacek's Taras Bulba and Debussy's La Mer along with two solo violin works with Isabelle Faust, Bartok's Violin Concerto No. 1 and Chausson's Poeme. Janacek's Taras Bulba is a work that Duncan discovered as a teenager when he played with the National Youth Orchestra. Though he didn't actually play the organ, but he was asked to play the organ part in a performance of Taras Bulba at the Royal Albert Hall (his RAH debut) with Sir […]

Royal Albert HallMason Bates: Auditorium Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor, op.95Janáček: Taras Bulba Johannes Moser (cello)Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Kirill Karabits (conductor) ‘Welcome to tonight’s concert, given by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under its Chief Conductor Kirill Karabits,’ read the Proms programme, ‘in which they present music inspired by the past.’ To which it is difficult not to reply: I suppose so, but is not this category so broad as to verge on the meaningless? Elgar’s Cello Concerto is included because it allegedly offered ‘a last glimpse of the Edwardian era’ but also, more puzzlingly, ‘was … to be the composer’s last orchestral masterpiece’.
