Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov returns to the City Halls’ podium for the first time this season with a fascinating programme that includes a rare performance of Britten’s early concerto for violin and viola, which he completed in sketch form but never finalised for performance. Volkov’s subtle understanding of the music of Elgar led to a fine interpretation of the First Symphony with the BBC SSO some years ago. Now, to close This Sceptred Isle, he brings his consummate intellect and ardent musicianship to the big, romantic canvas of the Second Symphony.
Please note the early start time of this concert.
6.15pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Elizabeth Layton (leader), Greg Lawson (principal second violin), Scott Dickinson (principal viola) and Martin Storey (principal cello) discuss the highs and lows of playing in a broadcasting symphony orchestra.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the end of the main concert): Lawrence Power plays Britten’s Lachrymae for solo viola.
