Programme Note

The Proms’ Sibelius symphony cycle continues with the concise, intricately wrought Third and the darker Fourth - once described by conductor Herbert Blomstedt as ‘an essay in trying to be happy which fails - on purpose’. These are paired with the composer’s popular Violin Concerto with Lithuanian soloist Julian Rachlin. Conductor Ilan Volkov is a passionate champion of contemporary music and here premieres a new Sibelius-inspired work by Michael Finnissy - a composer whose music, though fascinatingly complex, finds real connection with politics, society and culture.
