Dalia’s Mix Tape - ѿý Symphony Orchestra 90th Birthday Celebration

Petroc Trelawny presents Dalia’s MixTape, a mixture of live and pre-recorded music, performed by the ѿý Symphony Orchestra to mark its 90th birthday.

Petroc Trelawny presents a mixture of live and pre-recorded music given by the ѿý Symphony Orchestra with its Principal Guest Conductor Dalia Stasevska, from its home at the Maida Vale studios, marking its 90th birthday.
Dalia’s Live Mixtape is inspired by the ѿý SO’s tour to Scandinavia in 1956, and offers a time-travel through Finnish and British music. Dalia writes: “The time travel idea was inspired by 90 years of history and the amazing accomplishments of the orchestra, but as well, by the title of Sibelius's Scenes Historiques. We’re celebrating the history of ѿýSO, the history of British music and the close friendship the UK has with Finnish music. See how a unique combination of music communicates with us, how pieces communicate with each other across time, and what kind of story they tell us.”
