Sibelius鈥檚 Fourth Symphony is perhaps the composer鈥檚 most enigmatic. From its brooding opening it moves like a great sea creature in the depths, mysterious, powerful, and only occasionally rising towards the light. It鈥檚 also thought by many to be the composer鈥檚 greatest work. Chief Conductor Designate Ryan Wigglesworth is sure to bring out all its richness and intensity after he takes to the keyboard as the soloist in Mozart鈥檚 elegant early Piano Concerto.
**Please note that in a change to the previously advertised programme, the scheduled premiere of J枚rg Widmann's 'Danse macabre' has been postponed to a future date.
