SCO 26/27: Barber's Adagio & Violin Concerto

Ryan Bancroft brings his trademark energy to an evening centred on two of Barber’s most powerful works.

First Clara-Jumi Kang performs the Violin Concerto, bringing her compelling insight and dazzling virtuosity to this beautiful work. Then the Orchestra performs Barber’s instantly recognisable Adagio, made popular thanks to its use in powerful film moments, such as Platoon and The Elephant Man.
