John Storgårds (conductor)
Finnish conductor John StorgÃ¥rds champions stirring works of his nation's musical hero. Sibelius's musical language is one of the starting points for much of Peter Maxwell Davies's symphonic music and its echoes can be heard in his Fifth Symphony, performed tonight in celebration of his forthcoming eightieth birthday. Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ New Generation Artist Leonard Elschenbroich joins the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Philharmonic for "Oration", Frank Bridge's meditation on war, ending with a visionary epilogue.
