About this event

Exciting young British violinist Matthew Trusler continues this season鈥檚 selection of more rarely heard violin concertos with William Mathias鈥檚 neglected 1991 work 鈥� a virtuosic celebration of song and dance.

He is joined by the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and its former Music Director Mark Wigglesworth (soon to take the helm at English National Opera), who together also perform the exuberantly rhythmic overture to Wagner鈥檚 early comedy Das Liebesverbot and Elgar鈥檚 richly orchestrated First Symphony 鈥� itself a work steeped in the Germanic tradition of Wagner, Brahms and Beethoven.
