As part of their Bexhill summer takeover, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra returns to the De La Warr Pavilion under the baton of Associate Conductor Emilia Hoving to perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with rising star Hana Chang. A work full of fire and ferocity, both soloist and orchestra have the chance to dazzle in one of the most enduring concertos of the violin repertoire.
Before that, there is a chance to hear Sibelius' stirring Finlandia. Written when Finland was part of the Russian Empire and struggling for independence, it swiftly became a rallying cry for the Finnish people and a symbol of patriotism across the world.
The Orchestra closes the concert with Dvořák’s seminal work, Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’. Famous for its use in the iconic 1973 TV ad for Hovis, the music features echoes of the Native American and early African American folk traditions. The tune that runs throughout the piece so perfectly captures the flavour of the United States that it is often described as an original American folk tune.
