Today鈥檚 concert is set to capture the very best of Finland and of course, Sibelius, as we celebrate what would have been his 150th birthday.
Carlos Miguel Prieto conducts one of Sibelius鈥檚 masterpieces, plus a stunning pair of works from living Finish masters. The programme opens with a selection from Sibelius鈥檚 Lemmink盲inen - the Finnish Karavela myths.
The orchestra also performs Saariaho鈥檚 major work for flute L'aile du songe, played today by the talented flautist, Adam Walker. It concludes with the spiritual Einojuhani Rautavaara鈥檚 Symphony No. 7 subtitled 鈥淎ngel of Light鈥�.
