Concert Information

Â鶹ԼÅÄ Philharmonic Chief Guest Conductor John StorgÃ¥rds returns to Salford for a live Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 3 broadcast.

This afternoon, we hear a rare performance of Valentin Silvestrov’s Fifth Symphony. Luminous, beautiful and utterly transcendent – this piece is one of the best-kept secrets in contemporary music.

We also hear Judith Weir’s 2013 composition I give you the end of a golden string – inspired by the following lines from William Blake:

“I give you the end of a golden string;
Only wind it into a ball,
It will lead you in at Heaven’s gate,
Built in Jerusalems’s wallâ€
