Due to an injury, original soloist Tasmin Little has regrettably had to withdraw from the concert on 1 February. We are grateful to Liza Ferschtman for taking her place in Szymanowski’s Second Violin Concerto.

Programme

About This Event

Vassily Sinaisky conducts Szymanowski’s gripping Second Violin Concerto before taking on another Eastern European masterpiece from between the wars. Nikolay Myaskovsky was a rebel in a time and place when rebellion was a dangerous game – post-revolutionary Russia, where a word out of turn could leave you silenced for good. His epic Sixth Symphony is deeply political and intensely personal, inspired by both the Revolution and the deaths of his father and aunt.
