Catch Steven Isserlis in action playing one of the highlights of the evening – Antonin Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

Intense. Optimistic. A forest adventure.
Who’s on stage
Star cellist Stephen Isserlis, together with Royal Northern Sinfonia and conductor Dinis Sousa.

What they’re playing
One established classic, Antonin Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, one lesser-known gem, Robert Schumann’s First Symphony and a real curiosity, Kristine Tjøgersen’s Between Trees.

What's happening in the music
Dvořák’s Cello Concerto is one of those pieces where when you hear it you go “oh it’s THIS one”. It’s full of great tunes, tugs on your heartstrings, takes you from wistfulness to triumph in a few minutes and basically has all the necessary ingredients for a very enjoyable musical half hour. Schumann’s symphony is less well known, but for no good reason. As it’s title implies, it’s fresh, zesty and springlike, and an optimistic closing piece for our last concert before the summer.

And the curiosity…
Imagine for one moment you’re not sitting in a concert hall but are instead deep within a forest…this is where Kristine Tjøgersen’s Between Trees takes you. Her imagination is amazing – you’ll hear a squirrel eating, be taken underground so you feel you’re among the roots of the trees, and above ground you hear fluttering wings and bird song. A truly unique listening experience!
