Summary
Alina Ibragimova joins Thomas Søndergård and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall for Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, alongside works by Coleridge-Taylor and Sibelius.
Why it's fantastic
The evening opens with a chance to discover Coleridge-Taylor’s lyrical writing before Alina Ibragimova takes on Mendelssohn’s famously soaring, melodic concerto. You finish with Sibelius’s second symphony, a piece that builds from quiet, rhythmic patterns into a massive, surging wall of sound that feels like a physical release.
