Tickets on general sale 10am Monday 12th of May 2025. CRUMB God-music from _Black Angels_ BRITTEN Sinfonia da Requiem ELGAR Cello Concerto WAGNER Prelude to Act 1 from _Tristan and Isolde_ SCRIABIN The Poem of Ecstasy PATRICK HAHN Conductor / KIAN SOLTANI Cello There’s a good reason why Elgar’s Cello Concerto is a classic: deep emotions surge beneath its haunted surface and if anyone can uncover them it’s our soloist, the remarkable Kian Soltani. Today, it’s just one stage on an emotional odyssey devised by our Principal Guest Conductor Patrick Hahn: a voyage that embraces the infinite longing of George Crumb and Richard Wagner, the volcanic grief of Benjamin Britten, and Scriabin’s final, multicoloured starburst of pure sonic bliss.
