Join the BBC Philharmonic as they record an episode of Inside Classical at MediaCityUK. This BBC Four series features BBC orchestras along with their specially invited guests, performing the best in contemporary and classical music. Tonight the BBC Philharmonic welcomes soloist Jennifer Pike for Max Bruch’s much-loved
First Violin Concerto – the ‘richest’ and ‘most seductive’ of all the concertos for the instrument, according to 19th- century virtuoso Joseph Joachim. We also hear Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony, his ninth, composed during his time in America in the 1890s and featuring themes from spirituals and roots music. Ben Gernon conducts.
Please note, this concert is being filmed for BBC Four.
