This afternoon, we’ll hear a selection of music that showcases and exemplifies the exciting breadth of the Â鶹Éç Philharmonic Orchestra's work, with Chief Conductor John StorgÃ¥rds

The Rite of Spring welcomes in the vernal equinox, Siberian-style. Full of barbaric rituals and savage dances, come and find out why it caused a riot at its premiere. Shostakovich’s celebration takes on the form of a procession with his Third Symphony.

The Â鶹Éç Philharmonic and Chief Conductor John StorgÃ¥rds bring one of Shostakovich’s boldest symphonies, the Fourth, to the Proms, following Canadian composer Cassandra Miller’s new viola concerto, titled 'I cannot love without trembling'.

Tonight is all about stories of the human spirit. Alban Gerhardt returns with Shostakovich’s second cello concert whilst ‘A Hero’s Life’ is the musical autobiography of Richard Strauss, under the baton of Alpesh Chauhan OBE.

As part of Sheffield International Concert Season 2024/25 we visit Sheffield City Hall with our Chief Conductor John Storgårds.
