There is a tribute to the late Sir John Tavener with his iconic Song for Athene and the Strauss anniversary celebrations conclude with a performance of the composer's massive work Taillefer, with soloists Elizabeth Watts, John Daszak and Roderick Williams. Celebrated Dutch violinist Janine Jansen plays Chausson's evocative Poème and the concert begins with the world premiere of Velocity by young British composer Gavin Higgins.
