Concert Information

A memorial tribute to his teacher, Russian composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky’s Funeral Song died an unexpected death when its score went missing soon after its 1909 premiere. Three years ago, it turned up in a St Petersburg archive – and tonight it will be performed in Manchester for the first time.

Every concert violinist has Mendelssohn’s enduring E minor Violin Concerto in their armoury, but it takes a talent as special as Carolin Widmann to really make it sing. To close, Ben Gernon, the orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor, directs Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Fifth Symphony.
