Conductor Alexander Shelley Violin Alexandra Soumm Voice Kim Criswell

Led and curated by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s Principal Associate Conductor, Alexander Shelley, this concert explores the light-hearted side of the roaring twenties. Brimming with humour and sprinkled with wit, this concert brings together pieces such as the Suite from Prokofiev’s absurd fantasy-opera Love for Three Oranges, the Overture to Bernstein’s comic operetta Candide and Ibert’s cheekily fast and furious Divertissement. Joined by Alexandra Soumm, a ’23 year old who delivers playing of astonishing power from a slight frame in a way that seems to defy nature’, the orchestra will perform Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No.1. Coloured by a magical, fairy-tale like quality, this piece is notable for its constraint and lyricism, as well as a delightful selection from the father of the Broadway stage, Cole Porter.

HUMPERDINCK Hansel & Gretel Overture SIBELIUS Violin Concerto TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No.5

Conductor Fabien Gabel Violin Tasmin Little

In no other violin concerto is the soloist’s first note, so delicately dissonant and offbeat, more beautiful than in Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Performed by Classical Brit Award winner Tasmin Little, this piece demonstrates Sibelius’ passion for the violin and complete understanding of the sound of the instrument.

This spring-time concert opens with Humperdinck’s dreamy Hansel & Gretel Overture, which firmly establishes the mood of his enchanted tale. Closing the concert will be Tchaikovsky’s grand and dignified Symphony No.5. Progressing from minor to major, from melancholy to joy, this piece is filled with the untamed fury of the Cossack.
