About This Event

Full sail for new shores: Sakari Oramo conducts Vaughan Williams鈥檚 A Sea Symphony, Britten鈥檚 Double Concerto and the London premiere of Oliver Knussen鈥檚 exquisite Cleveland Pictures.

鈥淏ehold, the sea itself!鈥 With a ringing fanfare, and a mighty choral shout Vaughan Williams鈥檚 A Sea Symphony takes the poetry of Walt Whitman and opens the floodgates to a spring tide of inspiration. 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra chief conductor Sakari Oramo has a special affinity for British music, and tonight he ends the season under full sail.

It鈥檚 all about new horizons, after all: so what better way to open than with the first London performance of a magical work by the much-missed Oliver Knussen. Cleveland Pictures is Knussen at the top of his game: jewel-like in its colour, precision and sense of wonder. It鈥檒l cast its spell over this performance of Britten鈥檚 atmospheric, rarely heard Double Concerto 鈥 with two uniquely sensitive soloists, Vilde Frang and Lawrence Power, supplying their own special poetry.
