Stasevska Conducts Sibelius 5

Conductor Dalia Stasevska leads the Symphony in the world premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Cello Concerto, performed by German-Canadian virtuoso Johannes Moser. Thorvaldsdottir, a former cellist, knows every nuance of the featured instrument and supports its rich contralto voice in her singular sound world. Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5 completes the program with rich orchestral textures, bold brass proclamations, and a final movement inspired by serene scenes of Nordic swans.
