| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Thursday 6-Jun-13 02:00pm Barantschik and Vinocour play Britten's Double Britten composed the concerto for violin and his own instrument, viola, at 18; its youthful vigor will challenge the virtuosity of the SFS’s Concertmaster and Principal Violist. Sibelius was not given to lengthy explanations of his works; after all, he believed “Music begins where the possibilities of language end.” Nonetheless, he called his heroic Second Symphony “a confession of the soul.” | ||

Bridgewater Hall, ManchesterSibelius Symphony Cycle: Symphonies 4 & 2 |

| Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Manchester M2 3WS, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 07:30pm Sibelius Symphony Cycle: Symphonies 4 & 2 Jean Sibelius was a man of extremes, in fact some would say that his darkest symphony is also his greatest. The Fourth Symphony stares into the bleakest corners of the human soul and finds a surprising strength. The Second could hardly be more different. From playful beginning to triumphant finish, there's never been a more inspiring musical portrait of a nation awakening to freedom than Sibelius' most popular symphony.The symphonies of Jean Sibelius are landmarks of 20th Century music. Rooted in the pride, nature and folklore of his native Finland, Sibelius wrestled personal demons and the turmoil of the twentieth century to forge seven masterpieces that redefined the symphony. With their soaring melodies, passionate emotions and majestic scale, they are as fresh, as powerful and as stirring as the Northern landscape itself. Nearly one hundred years later, they continue to inspire. Join the BBC Philharmonic as our Finnish Principal Guest Conductor John Storgårds takes us on his nation's greatest musical journey. This symphony cycle will also be recorded for Chandos Records. Tickets: £34, £27, £23, £19, £14, £10 | ||

He is one of the most renowned German violinists of his generation, and he will play Johannes Brahms’ violin concerto under the direction of Sir Colin Davis. In the second part of the evening, the 2nd Symphony by Jean Sibelius is on the programme.

| Beethovenhalle, Bonn, 53113 Bonn, Germany Friday 13-Sep-13 08:00pm Composer, Trombonist and Conductor Composer, trombonist and conductor – the Swedish musician Christian Lindberg has an exceptional talent. Together with the Beethoven Orchester Bonn, he will show that the musical understanding and penetration of the works can be enriched by this threefold perspective. Wagner himself, in his capacity as composer, librettist, stage director and conductor, created “total works of art” whose aesthetic is admired to this day. This evening we shall hear the Prelude to the “Meistersinger” and Kundry’s moving aria “Ich sah das Kind”, sung here by Dagmar Pecková, who is famous for her devilishly expressive voice.
