THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major
Robert Schumann Symphony No 3 in E flat major, ‘Rhenish’

Dinis Sousa conductor
Maria Włoszczowska violin
Royal Northern Sinfonia

Royal Northern Sinfonia, Principal Conductor Dinis Sousa and orchestra Leader Maria Włoszczowska close Lammermuir Festival 2023 with Beethoven’s glorious Violin Concerto – regarded by many as the greatest violin concerto of all – and the majestic symphony that Schumann wrote not long after he arrived as Music Director in Düsseldorf. Inspired by the great river Rhine, the magnificent landscape through which it flows and by the great gothic cathedral of Cologne, he took only five weeks to complete the ‘Rhenish’ Symphony. Its exuberant richness of invention is irresistible.
