On 13 November Paavo Järvi and the Philharmonia Orchestra perform the first concert in a cycle of the complete symphonies of Carl August Nielsen at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

The concert is part of a two-year project which will see Järvi and the orchestra perform Nielsen’s Symphonies and Concertos in London and at venues across the UK. 

Joining Järvi and the orchestra in the performances this week are cellist Steven Isserlis (12 November, Leicester) and violinist Viktoria Mullova (13 November, London). This time Järvi conducts Nielsen’s Symphony No.1; in April 2015, he returns to the orchestra to conduct Nielsen’s Symphony No.4.
