About this concert
Welcome back to live concerts at the Usher Hall with the Â鶹ԼÅÄ SSO. And who else would we play but Sibelius, with whom the orchestra has long been associated. His extraordinary one-movement Seventh Symphony is the climax of an afternoon that pairs the composer with fellow Finns: violin maverick Pekka Kuusisto and composer Magnus Lindberg. Expect sparks to fly in the Sibelius Violin Concerto and Lindberg’s 'Chorale' is preceded by part of the work that inspired it, Bach’s 'Es ist genug'. Plus, conductor Joana Carneiro finds room for Beethoven’s stirring Leonore No.3 Overture, a passionate hymn to liberty that never seems to lose its relevance.
