Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin…
Mahler’s First Symphony opens with shimmering sunlight and sounds of nature, starting 2024/25 in a wakening landscape scene that seems to pick up the idea of ‘rebirth’ that closed the 2023/24 Season.
"We join a walking wayfarer as they make peace with their tempestuous past and stride confidently into their future – not a bad way to start a new Season!"
Michael Gallen’s How To Go Off (Like A Rocket) opens the concert with a burst of glittering musical fireworks as it depicts the Oscar Wilde short story The Remarkable Rocket and our guest soloist is Isata Kanneh-Mason, fresh from opening the 2024 BBC Proms, who performs Beethoven’s gorgeously warm Fourth Piano Concerto.
