The Hallé orchestra, conducted by Kahchun Wong, presents an evening of contrasting musical narratives at the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall. The programme opens with Sibelius's Finlandia, a work of solemn dignity that became central to Finnish state occasions. Cellist Jan Vogler performs Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1, a composition shaped by the composer's experiences during the Stalin era, combining steely defiance with emotionally intense melodies. Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 'Eroica' concludes the concert, marking a pivotal moment in classical music where the composer expanded the symphony's emotional and structural possibilities, establishing new directions for the Romantic era. A pre-concert talk featuring Jan Vogler begins at 6:20pm. Tickets start from £12.50.
