About this event
Sibelius: Finlandia
Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto
Sibelius: Karelia Suite
Stravinsky: The Firebird
Robert Guy: Conductor
Jennifer Pike: Violin
After the invigorating Finlandia we are delighted to welcome back the fabulous Jennifer Pike with the ever-popular Tchaikovsky concerto which she first played with the SSO in 2018.
In the second half, along with Karelia, we bring you the dance feature. And what a feature to close the season! Stravinsky's Firebird, premiered in Paris in 1910, propelled the composer to instant fame and success. Diaghilev is said to have remarked in rehearsal "Mark him well, he is a man on the eve of celebrity". And so it proved. It led directly to his commissions for Rite of Spring and Petrushka, propelling him to his place as one of the giants of 20th century music.
Parking is free and the bar is open before the concert and during the interval.
