City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
Elizabeth Layton, leader of the BBC SSO, directs the strings of the orchestra in this dazzling programme. Prodigiously talented Alison Balsom, is soloist in André Jolivet’s light-hearted Concertino for trumpet, strings and piano of 1948, and she gives a rare performance of the trumpet concerto by Baroque composer Johan Baptist Neruda. The concert finishes with Dvorák’s ravishing five-movement Serenade for Strings, widely regarded as one of the composer’s earliest masterpieces.
To be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3
