Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony is a piece that you simply must hear live. It’s sometimes compared to a “cathedral in sound”, and no question, it’s got majesty to spare. But Bruckner was on a lifelong spiritual quest, and Domingo Hindoyan feels a deep kinship with this very personal masterpiece. First, though, we welcome the winner of the 2024 Leeds International Piano Competition, and while we don’t yet know who they are, we do know that they’ll be incredible!

Fiery folk tunes meet the Orchestra – Domingo Hindoyan dives deep into a whirlwind of colour and rhythm, straight from the untamed musical imagination of Zoltán Kodály. A different kind of passion drives Bartók’s Second Violin Concerto, and violinist Michael Barenboim is just the artist to uncover both its poetry and its inner fire. Meanwhile, if you enjoy Dvořák’s ‘New World’ symphony, you simply have to hear the Seventh. This tempestuous portrait of a nation awakening to freedom packs a serious emotional punch.
There’s only one Víkingur Ólafsson, and if you haven’t yet heard him, Brahms’ mighty Second Piano Concerto offers a magnificent introduction to this Icelandic piano sensation. “Everyone knows how to listen to music, just like we know how to drink water,” he says, “you just listen…” – and that’s all that you need do this afternoon. Domingo Hindoyan and the Orchestra will take care of the rest, and they’ll be bringing fire, as well as ice, in orchestral showpieces by Dvořák and Kodály.
