Episode 7 of 8

Dalia Stasevska conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra in Elgar's Cello Concerto, with Sol Gabetta, Sibelius's First Symphony and Iain Farrington's musical celebration of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, A Party with Auntie.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra and their guest principal conductor Dalia Stasevska bring you an evening of stirring and poignant music from the Barbican in London. Starting with Elgar’s hauntingly beautiful Cello Concerto, performed by multi-award-winning Argentine cellist Sol Gabetta, the evening culminates in Sibelius’s electrifyingly stormy First Symphony.

In between, there’s a surprise in store. The orchestra performs A Party with Auntie, a piece written by Iain Farrington to celebrate the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s 100th anniversary that features no less than 15 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ theme tunes hidden within Iain’s own original music.
