Join us for the year’s biggest musical party with two
very special guests. Since taking the nation by storm
as 2004’s BBC Young Musician of the Year, Scottishborn
Nicola Benedetti has enhanced her reputation
as one of Britain’s most innovative and creative young
violinists. We also welcome Joseph Calleja, the
Maltese tenor who sings with the grace and elegance
of the voices of a bygone era. A brace of Czechs
acknowledges the sterling work of the BBC SO’s
outgoing chief, while contributions from 2012’s
anniversary composers include Delius’s valedictory
settings of Walt
Whitman. More
familiar home-grown
music brings down
the curtain in
time-honoured
fashion.
