Sibelius's Second Symphony

A Mozart overture sets the stage with energy, elegance, and drama - an ideal prelude to an evening of compelling musical storytelling. Guest conductor Ludovic Morlot - who captivated audiences when he stepped in at short notice with the BBC SSO in 2024 - leads a journey that culminates in the soaring melodies of Sibelius's epic Second Symphony. At its heart, Elisabeth Leonskaja brings profound artistry to Mozart's darkly expressive 24th Piano Concerto - one of his most personal works, rich in light and shade. If anyone can uncover its secrets, it's the legendary Leonskaja.
