Summary
Thomas Adès conducts the Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall in a programme featuring Stravinsky’s Firebird suite and the world premiere of Gabriella Smith’s violin concerto with soloist Pekka Kuusisto.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the restless energy of contemporary life before settling into the familiar, shimmering magic of Stravinsky’s folk-inspired masterpiece. Between a world premiere for violin and a trip through a neon-lit nightclub, this programme balances sharp modern thrills with the comforting glow of a true orchestral classic.
