Performer: Ilyich Rivas

Ilyich Rivas conducts his first official performance with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a programme of Dvořák, Tchaikovsky and Mahler, concluding with a rare performance of Shostakovich's Symphony no. 1.

20-year-old Venezuelan conductor Ilyich Rivas joined the ambitious PKF - Prague Philharmonia as part of their series showcasing young conductors. He has a bit of a mad genius look about him, but the results are impressive.
