Elgar鈥檚 Cello Concerto

Eva Ollikainen conducts the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in Sibelius's Second Symphony and the world premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Archora. Kian Soltani joins the orchestra for Elgar's Cello Concerto.

Eva Ollikainen conducts the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in a Prom featuring three composers and three unique responses to the landscapes surrounding them.

Elgar鈥檚 much-loved Cello Concerto, rising from the autumnal woodlands of Sussex and performed by soloist Kian Soltani, sits alongside Sibelius鈥檚 mighty Second Symphony 鈥� a musical national awakening in the composer鈥檚 homeland of Finland.

A world premiere opens the concert, a brand new commission from Anna Thorvaldsdottir. Titled Archora, its craggy, elemental soundscape is reminiscent of her native Iceland.

Presenter Petroc Trelawny is joined by special guests.
