About this event

An exciting occasion: new music from new NCH Artist-in-Residence, The National guitarist and leading composer, Bryce Dessner.

National Symphony Orchestra

André de Ridder conductor

Pekka Kuusisto violin

Named after the Basque forest goddess, Mari borrows from Dvořák and Mahler for an immersive ‘reflection on the pastoral’. Written for ‘fantastically exciting violinist’ (The Times) Pekka Kuusisto, Dessner’s Violin Concerto, inspired by thoughts of pilgrimage and the sea, is a fierce, fiery journey towards a blazing end. Dvořák’s masterpiece Seventh Symphony is a thing of orchestral wonders.
