³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

An orchestral concert suitable for children and adults with autism, sensory and communication impairments and learning disabilities as well as individuals who are Deaf, hard of hearing, blind and partially sighted

A concert of emotional extremes opens with Sibelius’s tempestuous Symphony No. 7 and closes with the horror of Shostakovich’s Stalin-inspired Symphony No. 10. Exciting young Uzbek pianist Behzod Abduraimov performs Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto.

Violinist Nicola Benedetti joins Thomas SøndergÃ¥rd and the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ NOW for a concert charged with nationalistic fervour. Sibelius’s stirring Second Symphony is paired with Shostakovich’s subversive symphonic poem October and his First Violin Concerto.

The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s first ever Relaxed Prom is suitable for children and adults with autism, sensory and communication impairments and learning disabilities as well as individuals who are Deaf, hard of hearing, blind and partially sighted.

Join Mary King, members of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Singers and ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ National Orchestra of Wales to sing excerpts from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. Experience in sight-reading or a knowledge of the piece is an advantage but not essential. Suitable for ages 16-plus.

Freedom, hope and brotherhood are the notions that underpin both Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Sir James MacMillan’s new choral work A European Requiem – a plea for unity in a troubled world. Xian Zhang and the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ NOW perform this European premiere.
