Concert Information

Juanjo Mena conducts the orchestra for an evening of music including Tan Dun’s The Tears of Nature. This piece was written specifically for tonight’s soloist, Martin Grubinger - dubbed by critics as ‘a wizard of percussion’.

Nothing in British music is more thrilling than the opening of tonight’s final piece - Elgar’s Second Symphony - and nothing quite matches what follows: a no-holds barred emotional autobiography, ending in a sunset of heart-breaking beauty.
