Basingstoke Symphony Orchestra Classics for February

Beethoven Violin Concerto Wagner Tristan and Isolde Butterworth A Shropshire Lad Grieg Peer Gynt Suite No.2 Stephen Scotchmer Conductor Braimah Kanneh-Mason Violin We are delighted to welcome back the brilliant and dynamic Braimah Kanneh-Mason, a Classic FM ‘Rising Star’, to perform Beethoven’s much-loved Violin Concerto. Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde brings some of the most harmonically daring music of the 19th century, while Butterworth’s A Shropshire Lad offers a poignant, lyrical farewell. Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No.2 explores the darker, more dramatic episodes of Ibsen’s play.
