Gustav Mahler 'Adagio' from Symphony No 10
Alban Berg Seven Early Songs
Jean Sibelius Symphony No 5
Enjoy Lise Davidsen's sublime soprano one last time, as she closes her artist spotlight in the company of Scandinavia's super-orchestra and their electrifying Chief Conductor.
See into the tortured mind of a genius facing loss of both love and life in the Adagio from Mahler's unfinished Tenth Symphony. Bask in the warmth of Davidsen's superb voice in Berg's Seven Early Songs. And set off into the summer evening with the soaring swan motif of Sibelius's Fifth Symphony still floating through your head.
A concert of endings, but new beginnings too: this will be the first opportunity for London audiences to see this slick orchestra led by their captivating Chief Conductor and Artistic Advisor, Klaus Mäkelä. An accomplished cellist, steeped in the music of Sibelius, with a 'characteristic programming flair' (Gramophone), the young Finn possesses an intriguing new musical voice we look forward to hearing much more from.
