Robert Schumann: Symphony No.3 in E flat major 'Rhenish'

Liza Ferschtman (violin)
Âé¶¹Éç Philharmonic
John Storgårds (conductor)

Liza Ferschtman makes her Âé¶¹Éç Proms debut with the Âé¶¹Éç Philharmonic and their Chief Guest Conductor John StorgÃ¥rds in Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, which seemingly opens with the breath of a mystical legend and ends with what one commentator described as ‘a Polonaise for polar bears’.

The programme opens with a new Âé¶¹Éç commission from Swedish composer Britta Byström inspired by Cosmologist Max Tegmark’s notion of a ‘hierarchical multiverse’, and closes with Schumann's uplifting third Symphony, the 'Rhenish'.
