NSO and Jaime Martín: Cleary, Elgar and Sibelius
Main Stage, National Concert Hall
The National Symphony Orchestra with cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Jaime Martín, conductor.
Chief Conductor Jaime Martín and Sheku Kanneh-Mason partner for Elgar’s spirited and noble, haunting and elegiac Cello Concerto, a poignant reflection on lives lost in war with a keening Adagio at its heart.
Siobhán Cleary's 'Cokaygne' is a vivid impression of the mythical land of plenty and an 11th-century Irish satire on gluttony, full of fantastical effects and imaginative detail.
Filled with memorable melodies, the stirring Second Symphony by Sibelius tributes his native Finland’s heroic struggle for survival.
Presented by NCH.
