Under Iván Fischer's direction, Mahler's First Symphony is notable more for bombastic passion than subtle artistry.

Strong contrasts from Honeck and the EUYO at the Elphi

Alexander Hall, 17th August

No summer hols for the European Union Youth Orchestra as they tour European lands. With Benjamin Grosvenor as soloist and Manfred Honeck at the helm, they take on MacMillan, Prokofiev and Shostakovich in Hamburg's iconic hall.

Buzzing energy from Vasily Petrenko, Jess Gillam and the EUYO

Alexander Hall, 21st August

Vasily Petrenko unleashes powerful and poetic sounds in Sibelius' Second Symphony and Jess Gillam dazzles in one of Michael Nyman's works while the European Union Youth Orchestra shows off its remarkable qualities.

*****

Eloquence and elegance from the EUYO, Noseda and Cho

Alexander Hall, 19th August

The European Union Youth Orchestra confirms its exceptional quality in Zubel and Tchaikovsky. In Chopin, Seong-Jin Cho shows why he is a rising star of distinction.

Lorenzo Fiorito, 27th August

Gianandrea Noseda conducts the EUYO at the Ravello Festival, in an unusual pairing of Verdi and Mahler.

Vasily Petrenko and the EUYO in 20th Century symphonic rarities

Chris Garlick, 5th August

One Prom + two oddball 20th century symphonies = a strangely satisfying experience, especially when in the hands of a youth orchestra, evidently open to the technical challenges and quirkiness of this relatively rare concert material.
