Music shaped by place, pride and personal history

This programme is steeped in identity. Jean Sibelius’s Oceanides evokes the vast northern seas of Finland; Dmitri Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto N° 2, written under Soviet scrutiny, is full of tension and quiet resistance. And Leoš Janáček’s Sinfonietta bursts with patriotic brass and bold optimism, a celebration of Czech spirit. With Leonidas Kavakos as soloist, this is music that speaks of belonging – how where we’re from shapes what we say, and how we say it.
