Elgar’s Cello Concerto
Eva Ollikainen conducts the Âé¶¹Éç 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 Âé¶¹Éç Philharmonic in a Prom featuring three composers and three unique responses to the landscapes surrounding them.
Elgar’s much-loved Cello Concerto, rising from the autumnal woodlands of Sussex and performed by soloist Kian Soltani, sits alongside Sibelius’s mighty Second Symphony – a musical national awakening in the composer’s 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.
