To celebrate Finnish Independence Day, BBC Philharmonic’s Chief Conductor, John Storgårds, born in Finland, will celebrate the birthday with us in the Victoria Hall. Finlandia is arguably the most well known of Sibelius’ music. Christian Tetzlaff is the soloist in Elgar’s nostalgic Violin Concerto.

Victoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent
The Victoria Hall was built in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was revamped in the mid-nineties and has since then been at the heart of the Cultural Quarter, alongside its sister venue The Regent Theatre. It has established itself as one of the most popular venues on the touring circuit playing host to the likes of Paul Weller, Morrissey and Jimmy Carr.
