Georgia Mann with music by Sibelius, Rautavaara, Stravinsky, Britten and Strauss.

Dalia Stasevska conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra in a concert that starts with Sibelius’s rousing and patriotic tone poem Finlandia. The programme also includes a performance of Helen Grime's Everyone Sang, a piece in which she imagined "the orchestra as being made up of many voices, capable of producing a unified and joyful melody that could also break off into many individual and varied strands of song. The piece juxtaposes a sense of celebratory joy with a sense of melancholy." The afternoon ends with Sir Andrew Davis leading the orchestra with mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly in Elgar’s equally rousing choral work The Music Makers.
