The concert opens with Brahms's famous violin concerto, featuring the incredible violinist Simone Porter.

Finally, be swept away by one of the most incredible works for orchestra ever written, La Mer (The Sea) by Claude Debussy. Lose yourself in the swirling waves and shimmering depths of the sea as the orchestra brings this masterpiece to life.
