BBC Philharmonic at Snape Maltings

The BBC Philharmonic perform Sibelius's monumental Fifth Symphony at the Aldeburgh Festival alongside music by Benjamin Britten, Manuel de Falla and Cassandra Miller.

Ian Skelly is at the Aldeburgh Festival to introduce music-making from the BBC Philharmonic and its Chief Conductor John Storgards. Sibelius's monumental Fifth Symphony provides the climax to their programme, which also features the Violin Concerto by Britten performed by Dutch violinist Simone Lamsma, a symphonic poem by Cassandra Miller inspired by a group of Genevese male singers and an arrangement of Manuel de Falla by Francisco Coll.
