Award-winning orchestra conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy plays with soloist Esther Yoo at the Corn Exchange

As part of the continuing Cambridge Classical Series, legendary musician Vladimir Ashkenazy will be conducting the award-winning Philharmonia Orchestra at the Corn Exchange on 2 March.

The concert will feature two pieces by Rachmaninov, The Rock and Symphony No.3, as well as Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, performed by virtuoso soloist Esther Yoo. Now in her second year as a BBC New Generation Artist, at 16 Esther was the youngest ever winner of the International Sibelius Violin Competition. She plays the 1704 ‘Prince Obolensky’ Stradivarius violin, which was lent to her by a private collector.
