Cancelled: Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Needing no introduction to our audience, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason (who memorably performed at the royal wedding of Meghan and Prince Harry) brings us Dvořák’s nostalgic cello concerto. Homesick in America and hearing that his wife’s sister - and also his first love - was seriously ill, Dvořák poured his heart and soul into a new piece for the cello. Full of personal touches and meanings he created one of the most beloved of all concertos. In contrast, to open, Carl Maria von Weber delivers a delicious classical symphonic bonbon.
