About this event

Is there a better-known or better-loved violin concerto than Mendelssohn鈥檚? Following her two solo Late Night Proms, and Proms Saturday Matinee appearance with Apollo鈥檚 Fire, violinist Alina Ibragimova returns to perform this inventive and charming work, with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. They bring with them music by the young Norwegian 脴rjan Matre and a new work by Russian-British composer Alissa Firsova inspired by Norse mythology. This season鈥檚 series of three Stravinsky ballets written for the Ballets Russes reaches its conclusion with The Rite of Spring, as ferocious and exhilarating a musical assualt now as it was at its notorious Paris premiere over a century ago.
