About This Event

For their second concert, Klaus Ma虉kela and Amsterdam鈥檚 Royal Concertgewbouw Orchestra are joined by celebrated violinist Janine Jansen 鈥� back at the Proms for the first time in over a decade as soloist in Prokofiev鈥檚 effervescent Violin Concerto No. 1. A lyrical refuge from the storm of the Russian Revolution, the concerto stands in contrast to Barto虂k鈥檚 Concerto for Orchestra 鈥� another heir of conflict, but one that grapples and wrestles with darkness with thrilling virtuosity. Mozart鈥檚鈥楶aris鈥� Symphony is no less of an orchestral showcase: a musical calling card from an ambitious 22-year-old determined to dazzle.
