Johan Dalene is one of the most important young violinists to have emerged on the international stage in recent years, having won the Sibelius Competition and being nominated as a member of the prestigious BBC New Generation Artist scheme.

Tonight he is joined by one of the country’s leading orchestras and distinguished conductor Martyn Brabbins in a performance of the ever-popular Mendelssohn concerto, flanked by two of Beethoven’s most important works, the 'Egmont’ overture and the Seventh Symphony, described by Wagner as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’.
