Through two new works, Gabriella Smith and Indian-American Reena Esmail transport the listener into nature and across the globe with rhythmical soundscapes. Vinay Paramawearan, one of the most exciting and versatile young conductors on the podium today, leads the SA Phil for Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5, continuing the cyclic nature theme through an epic expression of the Nordic landscape.
