📖 About the concert

Young violinist Ellinor D'Melon performs Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto, written in 1939 under the shadow of the Spanish Civil War: virtuosic, lyrical and deeply moving.

Italian conductor Lorenzo Passerini opens with Rossini's William Tell Overture and closes with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2, known as the “Little Russian” for the Ukrainian folk melodies that run through it.
