Brahms: Violin Concerto
soloist: Emily Bell
Richard Strauss: Ein Heldenleben
Johann Strauss: Die Libelle, Künstler Quadrille, Unter Donner und Blitz

In May of 2022, the sixteen year old Emily Bell made her debut with us in Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. Such was the impact of her interpretation that an immediate return invitation was made. On this occasion the beautiful Brahms Concerto—written expressly for his great friend Joseph Joachim—is to be featured.
Sinfonia will be at its fullest strength of over one hundred players for our performance of Strauss’s mighty self-portrait, Ein Heldenleben [A Hero’s Life]. It is an exciting and very colourful work which demands to be heard live to experience the fullest impact. As if all this were not enough, we conclude our concert with three Johann Strauss "bonbons", including the magnificent "Thunder and Lightning Polka". We guarantee you’ll be positively skipping home!
