Programme Note

A beautiful and elegant programme featuring Sibelius' first symphony, peppered with string and woodwind solos. Romantic and lush, the work has been enduringly popular since 1900. Gliere's harp concerto is calming, tuneful and passionate whilst Adams' Chairman Dances, intense and rhythmic paints a picture of Chairman Mao and his wife dancing the foxtrot. 

The Brunel Sinfonia and our conductor Mark Gateshill
