London Philharmonic Orchestra: Sibelius’s First Tickets

A bright, rippling song. A flash of multicoloured plumage. The iridescent marvel of the Aurora Borealis.

The music of the North is alive with colour; you just need to listen, and no-one makes listening more of an adventure than Swedish clarinettist extraordinaire Martin Fröst.

For him, there’s a ‘sort of magic’ in the act of playing, and tonight he leads us on an unstoppable dance and conjures a brand-new concerto out of silence: Jacob Mühlrad’s extraordinary meditation on Jewish spirituality.

Andrea Tarrodi’s joyous musical aviary and Sibelius’ lush, windswept First Symphony complete a vibrant programme from guest conductor Anja Bihlmaier.
