Leonidas Kavakos (Violin)
Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra
Paavo Järvi (Conductor)

‘Impeccable’ Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos joins Paavo Järvi and the Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra for one of the great Romantic concertos. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is a deeply personal work, laden with the emotions of a failed marriage. Tender and melancholic, with tempestuous outpourings, it’s a piece that wears its heart on its sleeve. Bold colours frame this centrepiece: the world premiere of Dani Howard’s Concerto for Brass, ‘SIGNAL’, showcasing the players of the Â鶹Éç SO, and Scriabin’s Symphony No. 2, with its iconoclastic brilliance and spiritual vision.
