Andris Nelsons	Musikalische Leitung

The prestigious Leipzig Gewandhausorchester – the world’s longest-established symphony orchestra, famous for the glossy richness of its ‘Leipzig sound’ – returns to the Proms under Music Director Andris Nelsons.

Joining them is violinist Isabelle Faust, soloist in Dvořák’s colourful, folk-inspired Violin Concerto.

The elemental power of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2, with its heroic final movement, has become indelibly associated with Finland’s fight for freedom, no less personal a statement than the fragile, hypnotic beauty of Arvo Pärt’s tribute to Benjamin Britten.

NB: Hilary Hahn has had to withdraw from this Prom due to an ongoing injury.

Seats from £33 to £110 (plus booking fee). On sale 17 May 2025.

Sibelius' Symphonies 1 & 2: A violinist’s perspective

Erica Miner, 24th February

An overview of Sibelius' first two symphonies from the perspective of an orchestral violinist.

Isabelle Faust shines, Nelsons and the Gewandhaus disappoint

David Karlin, 26th August

The German violinist gives us plenty of Czech brio in Dvořák; conductor and orchestra display many good qualities but fail to thrill.
