Sibelius’ Second Symphony begins with a gentle pulse and a playful little tune. By the end, it’s reaching for the stars – an awe-inspiring soundscape, complete with ringing trumpets and a melody for the ages. But any concert is a journey, and Daniela Candillari is your guide on an adventure that begins with Samuel Barber in 1930s America and sees pianist Alexandra Dariescu return to Liverpool for Grieg’s hugely popular Piano Concerto. You’ll know it when you hear it!
