About This Event

Young love proclaims itself in Sibelius鈥檚 ravishing Rakastava. Arvo P盲rt鈥檚 cult concerto for two violins Tabula rasa redefines sound, silence and the relationship between them, while Gavin Higgins鈥檚 Rough Voices responds to the pandemic with a musical protest, giving voice to the most vulnerable. The first of Mozart鈥檚 last three symphonies is part of a glittering final flourish in his career.
