Maxim Emelyanychev Conductor

From earthy folk melodies to richly Romantic passions – what better way to launch a new Season than in the company of Czech maestro Antonín Dvořák and charismatic Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev?

After the bright colours of the exuberant Carnival Overture, world-renowned cellist Steven Isserlis – himself a passionate Dvořák devotee – brings new insights and fresh perspectives to the intimate tenderness of the much-loved Cello Concerto.

Join the celebrations as Maxim brings the concert to a joyful close with Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony, a powerful tribute to the wonders of nature and to the vitality of his Czech homeland.
