Concert information

91Èȱ¬ Philharmonic favourite John Wilson returns to The Bridgewater Hall for an all-English programme with a Canadian soloist at centre stage. The orchestra is performing all three of William Walton’s string concertos during this season, and James Ehnes completes the set with the composer’s iconic work for solo violin.

It’s followed by Vaughan Williams’s Fourth Symphony, a rich and surprising work dedicated to fellow composer and contemporary Arnold Bax – whose impassioned, evocative and ultimately lovelorn tone-poem opens the evening.
