The concert includes Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto, of which the second movement, the Andante, is a beloved classic. It opens with a hesitant pizzicato baseline, to which the clarinets subtly add little clouds of colour. Then, an infinitely tender melody played by the solo violin magically rises above this tiptoeing introduction, guaranteed to give you goosepimples.

The concert also pays tribute to the centuries-old music of Renaissance composer Sweelinck and the colourful orchestration of Respighi. This Italian master composer paints an incomparable picture in sound of the cascading fountains of Rome, its sun-drenched harvest festivals, and Nero’s famed Circus Maximum. Listeners can count on an evening brimming with musical highlights and memorable moments.
