Concert Information

Berlioz’s fizzing comedy overture and Stravinksy’s pulsating Symphony in Three Movements frame the pure, sunlit song of Brahms’s ever-popular Violin Concerto, written on a summer holiday in the Austrian Alps. It’s played tonight by the brilliant Canadian James Ehnes, making a welcome return to The Bridgewater Hall. Ravel’s seductive La Valse completes the programme.
