Sibelius, Grieg and Bruch with the BBC Philharmonic

Conductor: John Storgårds
Violin: Jennifer Pike

Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No.1
Bruch: Violin Concerto No.1
Sibelius: Symphony No.3
Sibelius: Karelia Suite

Join the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for a magical journey through the sweeping landscapes and stirring tales of the Nordic countries, led by the masterful Finnish conductor John Storgårds.

Grieg's beloved 'Peer Gynt Suite No.1' will transport you to the rustic mountainsides of Norway, as you revel in the famous 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. Then, be swept up in the passion and lyricism of Bruch's soaring 'Violin Concerto No. 1', performed with breath-taking virtuosity by the "simply spectacular” (The Independent) British violinist Jennifer Pike.

The concert closes with two iconic works from Finland's greatest composer, Jean Sibelius. The mighty 'Symphony No.3' conjures visions of vast pine forests and icy northern vistas with its thrilling grandeur. And the stirring 'Karelia Suite' evokes the resilient spirit of the Finnish people through majestic brass chorales and folk-inspired melodies.

Pre-concert talk 6.15pm.
