Tickets "at the door" - until sold out
  1. Ma mère l’oye, 'Mother Goose' - Maurice Ravel
  2. Concerto for violin and orchestra No 1 in D Op 19 - Sergey Prokofiev
  3. Symphony No 9 in E minor, 'From the New World' Op 95 - Antonín Dvorák

With the help of Sleeping Beauty, Prince Charming, Beauty and the Beast and Tom Thumb amongst others, Ravel leads us into a fairy-tale sound-world in one of his most exquisite creations. Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, composed against the turbulent backdrop of the Russian Revolution, vividly captures a world in flux – it’s a roller-coaster ride for both listener and soloist, tonight featuring the brilliant violinist Ye-Eun Choi. After the premiere in New York of Dvorák’s richly melodic ‘New World’ Symphony, the audience simply went wild and soon Dvorák collars, ties and walking sticks were all the rage!

Pre-concert talk: Simon Webb, General Manager at BBC Philharmonic, discusses the evening’s programme with Ye-Eun Choi. The talk will commence on the raked seating at 6.30pm. Tickets cost £3 and include a complimentary drink.
