song

Don’t miss four-time Grammy award winner Anne-Sophie Mutter!

Join her and the London Philharmonic Orchestra as they travel across Europe: from the frozen landscapes of the north, home to Jean Sibelius’ mythical tales; to Lake Geneva in Switzerland, where Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky found solace following a bitter separation from his wife; and finally to Teplice, the Bohemian spa town where Ludwig van Beethoven was sent to convalesce. A perfect expedition for beating those February blues!
