About this concert

Welcome back to live concerts at City Halls. For our first public Glasgow concert in 18 months the Â鶹Éç SSO plays, well, what else but Sibelius? His extraordinary one-movement Seventh Symphony is the climax of an evening that pairs the composer with fellow Finns: violin maverick Pekka Kuusisto and composer Magnus Lindberg. Expect sparks to fly in Lindberg’s First Violin Concerto, while his 'Chorale' is preceded by part of the work that inspired it, Bach’s 'Es ist genug'. Plus, conductor Joana Carneiro finds room for Beethoven’s stirring Leonore No.3 Overture, a passionate hymn to liberty that never seems to lose its relevance.
