Overview

With entertaining and informative hosts, the Music on Sundays concerts are the perfect pre-lunch activity in the heart of South Bank, in a convenient 90 minute timeslot

A violin showcase of electrifying flair.

Led by conductor Jessica Gethin and featuring Principal First Violin Johnny van Gend, this concert is a celebration of elegance and remarkable virtuosity.

Waxman’s Carmen Fantasie and Tchaikovsky’s sparkling Valse-Scherzo offer thrilling moments for solo violin, before Glazunov’s Scènes de ballet closes the concert with rhapsodic fervor.

You’ll also hear Jessica Wells’ Suite from Butterfly Effect, a World Premiere that’s a fresh and poignant take on the iconic opera, alongside the stately Polonaise from Eugene Onegin. 

Expect beauty, brilliance, and music that dances.
