The London Philharmonic returns for its first appearance since November 2006, this time under the direction of the exciting young conductor Vladimir Jurowski, who became the orchestra’s principal conductor in 2007, succeeding Kurt Masur. Jurowski conducts Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony, the only one of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies that is not numbered. Based on a poem by Lord Byron, the Manfred Symphony is rarely performed in the concert hall. Janine Jansen, a 23-year-old violinist who has been a huge star in her native Holland ever since her Concertgebouw debut at the age of 10, makes her UMS debut.
