BBC NOW 2018-19 Season Beethoven's Violin Concerto

Wales’ acclaimed national orchestra visit St George’s with a programme crowned by Beethoven’s mighty Violin Concerto, and adorned further by two exciting young talents, still both in their twenties. Czech conductor Jiri Rozen’s success at the Salzburg and Donatella Flick conducting competitions has led to a string of engagements with orchestras such as the Czech Philharmonic and BBC Philharmonic. Ukrainian violinist Aleksey Semenenko, praised in The Strad for ‘an unparalleled level of refined musicianship and stage presence’, has recently joined the prestigious BBC New Generation Artist programme.
