Dvořák Violin Concerto with James Ehnes

Dvořák’s lively violin concerto, in the hands of a master, is at the heart of an evening of musical storytelling with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Violinist James Ehnes, a long-standing collaborator with the Philharmonia, brings his ‘unquestionable virtuosity’ ( Bachtrack ) to Dvořák’s Violin Concerto – a work rich in lyricism, rhythmic vitality and folk-inspired energy, crowned by its exhilarating finale. The programme unfolds as a vivid showcase of Central European imagination. Dora Pejačević’s Concert Overture opens the evening with sweeping drama and flair, a striking introduction to a composer whose voice is increasingly being rediscovered.
