Summary
Dinis Sousa conducts the Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall, featuring cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason in Britten’s Cello Symphony alongside works by Pärt and Elgar.
Why it's fantastic
Witnessing Sheku Kanneh-Mason’s intensity in person is the perfect introduction to the cello’s soulful, commanding power. The evening concludes with Elgar’s Enigma Variations, a sequence of musical portraits that contains the famous, deeply moving Nimrod and remains one of the most beloved staples of British orchestral music.
