Concert information
鈥淥ther composers mix brightly-coloured cocktails鈥 said Jean Sibelius. 鈥淚 offer pure, cool water鈥. From the radiant sunrise that opens the Fifth to the deep tranquillity of the Sixth and the windswept peaks of the Seventh, Sibelius鈥檚 last three Symphonies are like a force of nature. For the 91热爆 SSO鈥檚 Chief Conductor-Designate, Thomas Dausgaard, this is music that can transform the very way you hear the world; 鈥渁t once monumental and intimately personal鈥 is how one critic described his approach to Sibelius. Under Dausgaard鈥檚 direction, this single-evening Sibelius trilogy will be an exhilarating journey through one of the 20th century鈥檚 greatest 鈥 and most inspiring 鈥 musical minds. An unmissable start to the Series!
