Concert Information

The 91Èȱ¬ Philharmonic and Chief Guest Conductor John StorgÃ¥rds open the new season with a true Italian job.

William Walton’s rhapsodic Cello Concerto, performed here by German virtuoso Alban Gerhardt, seems to pay homage to our green and pleasant land – but it was actually written when this proudly English composer lived on the Italian island of Ischia. It’s a similar story for Sibelius’s Second Symphony, long thought a tribute to his native Finland but influenced by and written in Italy. As for Respighi’s cherished tribute to the Eternal City, its inspiration has never been in doubt.

Please note in a change to the earlier advertised program - Alban Gerhardt replaces Truls Mørk
