John Dalene plays Mendelssohn

Johan Dalene is one of the most important young violinists to have emerged on the international stage in recent years, having won the Sibelius Competition and being nominated as a member of the prestigious BBC New Generation Artist scheme.

Tonight he is joined by one of the country’s leading orchestras and distinguished conductor Martyn Brabbins in a performance of the ever-popular Mendelssohn concerto, flanked by two of Beethoven’s most important works, the overture ‘Egmont’ and the Seventh Symphony, described by Wagner as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’.
