London calls for this special appearance at the Barbican Centre. Longstanding friend Maxim Vengerov joins the Orchestra, bringing with him a work all about companionship and deep musical relationships: the radiant Violin Concerto that Felix Mendelssohn conceived as a gift for his own close musical confidante, Joseph Joachim.
