Ceòl Jean Sibelius aig BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

In this striking exploration of Nordic soundscapes, Chief Conductor John Storgårds will flex every Finnish musical muscle as he leads the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.

We join RNCM student conductors and International Artist Diploma musicians for an afternoon of extraordinary music making in the BBC Philharmonic Studio.

John Storgårds and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra perform Strauss’s monumental tone-poem alongside Betsy Jolas’s evocative Tales of a Summer Sea. Sueye Park joins them for Sibelius’s Nordic-tinged Violin Concerto

Join us for the opening concert of our 2026/27 season at the Bridgewater Hall – featuring Sibelius Symphony No. 5, Wagner’s Overture to Lohengrin and Gabriella Smith’s organ concerto, Breathing Forests.
