91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra
Dalia Stasevska (conductor)
Dalia Stasevska makes her Proms debut as the 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra’s newly appointed Principal Guest Conductor.
Cellist Sol Gabetta joins them to celebrate the centenary of one of the 20th century’s great unsung heroes, Mieczysław Weinberg, whose Cello Concerto – premiered by Rostropovich in 1957, a decade after it was written – deserves a place alongside those of his great friend and colleague Shostakovich.
The programme also includes Tchaikovsky’s much-loved ‘Pathétique’ Symphony, with its thrilling Scherzo, and Sibelius’s suite Karelia a stirring celebration of Finland’s proud history.
