Concert Description

Simone Lamsma’s playing is “absolutely stunning,” raves the Chicago Tribune. And The Strad praises her “fine technique and impeccable intonation with mature musical intelligence.” See Simone Lamsma play Sibelius’ breathtaking Violin Concerto – the composer’s only concerto, and Mark Wigglesworth conducts Ralph Vaughan Williams tender Fifth Symphony, a vision of tranquility composed in the darkest days of World War II in England.
