Thames Philharmonia, Victoria Baek

An evening of glorious music with a distinctly English flavor. The heroic themes and romantic interludes of Elgar's expansive overture In the South opens the concert.

Young Korean violinist Victoria Baek will perform the English premiere of an exciting new violin concerto by Naresh Sohal, composer of the acclaimed Cosmic Dance performed at the 2013 BBC Proms. Naresh constructs a sound world which is at once highly distinctive yet completely accessible. Victoria then takes wing in the idyllic and ever-popular Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams, whose Third Symphony concludes the programme.
