Join us at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, 29th September 2024, at 3pm for an extraordinary concert experience, "Santtu conducts Sibelius and Nielsen." This event promises to be a highlight of the Philharmonia's Nordic Soundscapes series, featuring the talented Santtu-Matias Rouvali as conductor, with the acclaimed Bomsori Kim on violin.

The programme for the afternoon includes Sibelius's enchanting "The Oceanides," Nielsen's bold Violin Concerto, and the UK premiere of Miho Hazama's "What the Wind Brings," accompanied by underwater film footage of the Nordic coast. The concert will conclude with Sibelius's Symphony No. 3, a work full of warm energy and captivating melodies.

This concert is not just a performance but an exploration of the Nordic landscape's beauty and mystery, both above and beneath the sea. The inclusion of short documentary films provides a unique visual and auditory experience, bringing the Nordic coastline's underwater worlds to life on the Royal Festival Hall's vast screen.

Tickets are priced between £15 and £75, with priority booking available for Friends of the Philharmonia. General booking opens at 10am on Tuesday, 23rd April. Don't miss this opportunity to be swept away by the powerful and playful sounds of the north, performed by some of the world's most outstanding musicians.
