Season Finale: Tarmo Peltokoski Conducts A Sea Symphony

EVENT DESCRIPTION

The companion piece to Castor (conducted by Tarmo in December 2025), Salonen’s introspective Pollux draws inspiration from the mythological twin of the Gemini constellation. Vaughan Williams’ expansive A Sea Symphony, which sets the poetry of Walt Whitman, charts a spiritual voyage across the ocean, with its themes of exploration and humanity. Featuring soprano Chen Reiss, bass-baritone André Schuen, the HK Phil Chorus, and the London Philharmonic Choir, the HK Phil sets sail on a musical odyssey. A fitting grand finale for Tarmo Peltokoski’s season as Music Director Designate, setting the stage for a much-anticipated tenure as Music Director commencing in the 2026/27 season.
