Nicola Benedetti

A flurry of strings, a blast of trumpets: as Richard Strauss’s Don Juan – a real Casanova of a character – rockets into action. There’s a no-holds-barred opening to a whole afternoon of musical adventure at its swashbuckling best.

Sibelius’s First Symphony is the sound of a nation awakening to freedom: its epic tunes and thundering powerchords will be perfect for the 'breathtaking' young American maestro Robert Trevino.

First though, Nicola Benedetti plays Brahms: the nation’s favourite violinist in one of the most romantic violin concertos of all time. Hold on to your seats…
