RPO on Tour: Fairfax, VA

This concert is part of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s tour of the United States in 2022.

Celebrate the diamond jubilee anniversary of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) with a program featuring one of the world’s most sought-after cellists, Kian Soltani. RPO is a vanguard of classical music performance and under the direction of its new Music Director, Vasily Petrenko, is being recognized as one of the world’s most forward-thinking and boundary-pushing symphony orchestras. Its 75^th Anniversary program showcases a trio of 20^th century gems, including Benjamin Britten’s sublime Four Sea Interludes and Rachmaninoff’s spirited Symphonic Dances. Elgar’s Cello Concerto will be played by cello virtuoso Soltani, praised by The Times as a “remarkable cellist” and described by Gramophone as “sheer perfection,” Soltani’s virtuosity is characterized by a depth of expression, technical mastery, and emotional connection with the audience. This stunning concert of cherished works is the perfect performance to reconnect with live, classical music.
