What to expect

The programme opens with Charles Ives's The Unanswered Question, a question that keeps being asked until only silence remains.

At the heart of the evening is Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, written in memory of Manon Gropius, with Ilya Gringolts as solo violinist.

After that comes Robert Schumann's Second Symphony, described as a difficult recovery of joy rather than a cheerful victory, all led by conductor Jesko Sirvend.
