Thames Philharmonia Concert
Cellist Christina Meissner (Weimar, Germany) joins Thames Philharmonia to perform one of the greatest cello concertos. Dvorak’s gloriously romantic concerto is complemented by his Wanda overture and his Symphonic Variations, in which a simple melody is mutated through a dazzling array of rhythms, moods and orchestral colours. Vltava, Smetana’s exciting musical portrayal of the iconic river in his Czech homeland, completes the programme.
Conductor: Byung-Yun Yu
