About This Event

Robin Holloway is one of this country’s finest living composers, a restless and uncategorisable writer of music in a wealth of styles. To celebrate the composer’s 75th birthday, Håkan Hardenberger joins John Storgårds and the orchestra for the world premiere of Holloway’s first trumpet concerto.

The concert opens with a gloriously melodic but little-performed work by Schumann, a longtime favourite of Holloway, and ends with the extraordinary sound-world of Valentin Silvestrov’s Fifth Symphony – luminous, beautiful and utterly transcendent.
