About This Event

From sunrise to high noon: this matinee concert from the Tyneside-based Royal Northern Sinfonia under its Principal Conductor Dinis Sousa begins with the sun rising over Haydn鈥檚 joyous early symphony. It ends with Beethoven cutting loose in sheer, unbuckled glee, in the rollercoaster finale of his brightest symphony. In between, the skies just gets brighter and more beautiful, as oboist Nicholas Daniel takes the solo spot in Vaughan Williams鈥檚 playful, pastoral Oboe Concerto 鈥� another anniversary salute to this great British master. Then violinist Maria Maria W艂oszczowska is the soloist in Kaija Saariaho鈥檚 ravishing Vers toi qui es si loin 鈥� a wordless love song, adapted from the acclaimed opera L鈥檃mour de loin by one of today鈥檚 true sonic magicians.

There will be no interval
