In a concert steeped in Finnish nature and mysticism, and the first in the BBC Symphony Orchestra's Sibelius symphony cycle, Sakari Oramo conducts the Third Symphony. The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Oramo are joined by soprano Anu Komsi for Jean Sibelius's 'Luonnotar' and for the UK premiere of Kaija Saariaho's 'Leino Songs'. (Note: at 6pm a pre-concert talk in Cinema 3 –
limited capacity, so arrive early to avoid disappointment. Plus, BBC Family Music Intro 6-7pm in Fountain Room – an introduction to concert-going for families.)
