Philharmonia Orchestra
About this event
Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali makes his eagerly anticipated Nottingham debut leading the Philharmonia Orchestra alongside Spanish violinist María Dueñas. The programme opens with Unsuk Chin's subito con forza, a five-minute work that fuses Beethovenian musical gestures with contemporary energy and contrasts. Beethoven's Violin Concerto follows, showcasing the soloist's artistry across its dignified opening, compelling slow movement, and spirited finale. The concert concludes with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4, a work of profound emotional intensity reflecting the composer's personal turbulence. Written in the aftermath of his failed marriage, the symphony propels listeners through its feverish opening fanfare to its breathless finale.
A free pre-concert talk takes place at 6:00pm in the auditorium, offering insight into orchestral life through conversation with a Philharmonia musician.
