Summary

Thomas Adès conducts the Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall in his own work and Elgar’s First Symphony, joined by soloist Christian Tetzlaff for the Berg Violin Concerto.

Why it's fantastic

Witness the intense emotion of Berg’s concerto, a piece famously written in memory of an angel, performed by the celebrated Christian Tetzlaff. The evening finishes with Elgar’s first symphony, a noble work that defined the sound of a nation and remains a grand, quintessential introduction to the power of a live orchestra.
