Elgar’s Cello Concerto
Eva Ollikainen conducts the Â鶹Éç Philharmonic in Sibelius's Second Symphony and the world premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Archora. Kian Soltani joins the orchestra for Elgar's Cello Concerto.
Eva Ollikainen conducts the Â鶹Éç Philharmonic in a Prom featuring three composers and three unique responses to the landscapes surrounding them.
Elgar’s much-loved Cello Concerto, rising from the autumnal woodlands of Sussex and performed by soloist Kian Soltani, sits alongside Sibelius’s mighty Second Symphony – a musical national awakening in the composer’s homeland of Finland.
A world premiere opens the concert, a brand new commission from Anna Thorvaldsdottir. Titled Archora, its craggy, elemental soundscape is reminiscent of her native Iceland.
Presenter Petroc Trelawny is joined by special guests.
