About This Event

Hush鈥hen the great Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho died in 2023, she left behind her a trumpet concerto unlike any other, crafted to showcase the remarkable, genre-crossing artistry of trumpeter Verneri Pohjola. He gives its UK premiere tonight. a final, profoundly moving testament from one of our century鈥檚 greatest creative spirits, as she took her own 鈥渏ourney to silence鈥.

A jewel as rare as this demands a very special setting, and Sakari Oramo 鈥 a lifelong admirer of Saariaho鈥檚 music 鈥 has placed Hush at the centre of a concert that begins with Gustav Mahler gazing into the abyss, and ends with Vaughan Williams鈥檚 vision of beauty soaring clear and free. 成人快手 SO leader Igor Yuzefovich plays The Lark Ascending, and the 成人快手 Symphony Chorus sings Towards the Unknown Region: another timeless meditation on an eternal question.
