A strikinglyoriginal band, they reflect Spanish and gyspy roots and their live showshave become the stuff of legends.“Driven relentlessly by frenetic percussion this is music that can’t failto move you; live, the impressive presence of the dramatically coiffedMarina and her large band of musicians, video projections, a whirlinglight show and a beatboxer/flamenco dancer face-off make for anevening of passion and spectacle.” MetroSupport comes from La Troba Kung Fu. At the leading edge of theremarkable musical fusion that continues to emerge from the barrios ofBarcelona, they are led by singer and accordionist Joan Garriga. Heavilyinfluenced by cumbia and rumba catalana, seasoned by rock and reggae,they deliver an impassioned and electrifying live show.Global dance floorWed 2 December 7.30pmTickets£8.50 £13 £17 £23 £27 £29Concessions£7.50 £11 £15 £21 £25 £27Lorin Maazel conductorArabella Steinbacher violinMozart Violin Concerto No. 3Mahler Symphony No. 9Traditional in format, Mozart’s ThirdViolin Concerto follows the conventionof the orchestra playing accompanistto the solo violin. Although clearlyinfluenced by his travels throughItaly, the finale contains the livelyHungarian folk-tune known as the‘Strasbourger’. Mahler’s later workswere often associated with the idea offarewell, an idea that was intensifiedafter the posthumous première of hisNinth Symphony.
