Escape into reverie, rapture and release with music to transport you away from the humdrum cares of the day in the dramatic poetry of Sibelius’s Finlandia, the energy and verve of Louise Farrenc’s Third Symphony finale, the sublime ‘Death of Ase’ and animated fantasy of ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ from Grieg’s Peer Gynt, and the exotic, enchanting world of Stravinsky’s The Firebird.

2024 RDS Bursary winner Adam Buttimer joins exciting new conducting talent Sasha Scolnik-Brower for Vaughan Williams’ moving and characterful Tuba Concerto.
