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
Sheku Kanneh-Mason brings his lyrical intensity to Britten’s cello symphony, a work that stretches the instrument to its emotional limits. The evening concludes with Elgar’s Enigma Variations, a series of intimate musical portraits that contains the famously stirring Nimrod, making this a perfect entry point for any newcomer.
