Conductor           Mark Elder
Soloist                  Alina Pogostkina (violin)

Haydn                   Symphony No. 48, 'Marie Therese'
Sibelius                Violin Concerto
Mendelssohn     Symphony No. 3, 'Scottish'

Haydn’s Symphony no 48 is in his most brilliant ceremonial style, and features some spectacularly high-pitched horn writing. Fast-rising Russian star Alina Pogostkina lives in Germany where she currently studies with Antje Weithaas, the soloist in our January concert! She has made the Sibelius Concerto very much her own, after her winning performance of it at the Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki in 2005. Mendelssohn’s 3rd Symphony was prompted by his visit to Scotland in 1829, and moves between brooding atmosphere and fiery energy.
