About This Event

British cellist Steven Isserlis returns to the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 season to perform Schumann鈥檚 pioneering cello concerto 鈥� the work that first gave this instrument Romantic voice. Where Schumann looks to the future, Brahms looks back to Beethoven in his taut, tightly constructed Third Symphony, once described as 鈥榯he most nearly perfect鈥� of all the composer鈥檚 symphonies. An exciting world premiere of Richard Causton鈥檚 newly commissioned Ig zeg: Nu (*I say: Now*) opens the programme.
