Sibelius’s Fourth Symphony is perhaps the composer’s most enigmatic. From its brooding opening it moves like a great sea creature in the depths, mysterious, powerful, and only occasionally rising towards the light. It’s also thought by many to be the composer’s greatest work. Chief Conductor Designate Ryan Wigglesworth is sure to bring out all its richness and intensity after he takes to the keyboard as the soloist in Mozart’s elegant early Piano Concerto.
**Please note that in a change to the previously advertised programme, the scheduled premiere of Jörg Widmann's 'Danse macabre' has been postponed to a future date.
