Classic Hits: Sibelius & Tchaikovsky

Conductor Elias Grandy leads a powerhouse programme that pairs a showpiece for violin with one of the most thrilling symphonies ever written, with Concertmaster Joo Young Oh.

Sibelius’s Violin Concerto is music of ice and fire with haunting lyricism and a solo part that feels both fearless and intensely personal. Taking the spotlight is Luka Faulisi, a rising star on today’s concert scene, bringing virtuosity and intensity to one of the repertoire’s most iconic concertos.

After the interval comes Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4, a powerful and deeply emotional work. From its dramatic opening fanfare to its triumphant final movement, the symphony charts a journey through struggle, fate, and ultimate resilience, culminating in a thrilling and unforgettable conclusion.
