Hindoyan conducts Barber's Violin Concerto

BBC Symphony Orchestra/Domingo Hindoyan

Domingo Hindoyan conducting, with green circular swirls around him

Big skies and new worlds: Domingo Hindoyan conducts three musical salutes to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, including Barber’s glorious Violin Concerto. 

Drums thunder, trumpets sound and a nation finds its voice. Everyone knows Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, but not many people know its second life as part of Copland’s magnificent Third Symphony: a masterpiece as big and as brave as America itself. But that’s just one side of the American dream. Barber’s glorious violin concerto is as popular as it is poetic – and with good reason.

It’s a typically expansive programme from Domingo Hindoyan, the charismatic Venezuelan conductor who’s been making waves as principal conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Joining him is violinist Tessa Lark, another artist with a burning urge to communicate. A visionary new masterpiece by Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz blows open the doors of perception. 

This performance will finish at approximately 9.15pm, including a 20-minute interval
