Maxim Vengerov Conducts

Beethoven Egmont Overture, Op. 84 Side-by-Side
Haydn Symphony No. 104 in D major, Hob. I:104, ‘London’
Sibelius Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47

Anna-Liisa Bezrodny violin
Maxim Vengerov conductor

Not one, but two great violinists. Maxim Vengerov trades his fiddle for a baton for this concert in which we’re delighted to welcome our remarkable Associate Concertmaster Finnish-Estonian violinist Anna-Liisa Bezrodny in music close to her heart – the violin concerto by the composer who defined Finland in sound, Jean Sibelius. The concerto Sibelius wrote as a surrogate for the virtuoso violin career he could never have is a work of inspiring focus and fortitude, the virtuosity of which is never just for show. Here it forms the culmination of a concert that opens with an arresting overture by Beethoven and Haydn’s best-known symphony.

The Sheldonian Theatre is a unique space to experience live music. To see an interactive map of the theatre click here.
