There’s a wonderful reason why Dvorák’s New World Symphony is so popular – and it’s not just the Hovis ad! RSNO Principal Guest Conductor Thomas Søndergård gets to the heart of every piece he touches: he’ll find all the sadness, the sweetness and the sheer majesty of this much-loved classic. Vilde Frang brings all her insight to Britten’s Violin Concerto, but first, music from another new world: a mini-masterpiece by Brett Dean, the Australian composer who’s got Europe talking.
