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.
