Sibelius: Suite, King Kristian II
Hallgrímsson: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra Op.46 (world premiere: Commissioned by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra)
Grieg: Symphony in C minor

Enrique Mazzola: conductor; Jennifer Pike: violin

Hallgrímsson’s relationship with the SCO has been outstandingly fruitful over the past two decades, yielding a sequence of major works for string soloist and orchestra. In his 70th birthday year, Jennifer Pike (BBC Young Musician of the Year 2002) is the soloist for this latest concerto, following in the footsteps of such distinguished artists as Truls Mørk and Lars Anders Tomter. Mazzola frames Hallgrímsson with Nordic treasures: Sibelius’ atmospheric and melodious theatre score and Grieg’s youthful symphony.

Pre-Concert Talk 6.30pm (free to ticket holders) Hafliði Hallgrímsson talks about his new concerto.
