Victoria Vita Polevá: The Bell – Symphony No. 4 for Violoncello and Orchestra

‘Writing music was what I knew as life’ says the Ukrainian composer Victoria Vita Polevá, describing her childhood, and few living composers write with more beauty, more power or more unsparing emotional honesty. A Polevá premiere is a major event, and today we’re proud to join cellist Inbal Segev for the first UK performance of her Cello Concerto. Polevá’s compatriot Oksana Lyniv conducts, and she’s paired it with Janáček’s irrepressible fox-tale, and Dvořák’s happiest symphony. Expect sunshine, dance rhythms and birdsong: music, in other words, that makes you feel glad to be alive.

Janáček – Suite, The Cunning Little Vixen
