Dreamlike French colours, Nordic sounds and boundless Romanticism come together in tonight’s programme, conducted by the Finnish conductor Emilia Hoving.

Please note: New concert start time – all subscription concerts now begin at 7:00 pm.

Hall’s evocative Verlaine Suite opens the concert with impressionistic sounds inspired by the French poet Paul Verlaine. Finnish clarinettist Christoffer Sundqvist is the soloist in Sebastian Fagerlund’s powerful and virtuosic Clarinet Concerto – a commissioned work that explores the instrument’s rich range of expression and colours. Berlioz’s iconic Symphonie fantastique brings the evening to a close – a dramatic and imaginative symphony regarded as one of the most groundbreaking works of the Romantic era.
