Vaughan Williams’ dreams of England, plus a gripping showcase for violinist Liya Petrova.
In the darkest days of the Second World War, the 70-year-old Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote a symphony that sounded like a vision of peace.

'A wondrous tone, an elegant straightforwardness and a freshness of utterance’ - that was how one critic described the playing of Johan Dalene, when he won the Nielsen International Violin Competition in 2019. We’re always delighted to welcome this young Swedish-Norwegian violinist back to London. This time, he’s playing one of the warmest and best-loved of all violin concertos; the big, songful c

Folksongs, fantasies and glorious Tchaikovsky from Kirill Karabits and violinist Liya Petrova.
Genius enjoys a challenge. Stravinsky’s Violin Concerto begins with a chord that was supposed to be impossible, though with a violinist as brilliant as RPO Artist-in-Residence Liya Petrova ("exquisite", The Guardian ), the impossible comes as standard.
