- **Event Description**: Á þessum tónleikum er boðið upp á tónlist sem Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands verður með í farangrinum á tónleikaferð til Evrópu. Sellókonsert Edwards Elgar er eitt dáðasta einleiksverk tónlistarsögunnar og hér njóta sín til fullnustu einstök tök einleikarans, Kians Soltani, á hljóðfærinu. Þessi tilfinningaþrungna tónlist kviknaði upp úr hildarleik fyrri heimsstyrjaldar og þeirri angist sem átökin sköpuðu, jafnt í samskiptum þjóða og í hugarheimi næmra listamanna á borð við Elgar sjálfan.

Eldfuglinn verður einnig með í ferðalaginu, hljómsveitarsvítan litríka sem Ígor Stravinskíj vann upp úr byltingarkenndum balletti sínum sem frumfluttur var árið 1910. Fuglinn sá sprettur úr rússneskri þjóðsagnahefð, tónlistin er litrík og þar eru allir möguleikar sinfóníuhljómsveitar nýttir til hins ýtrasta. Í verkinu takast á góð og ill öfl en sem betur fer gengur allt fallega upp að lokum.

Tónleikarnir eru hluti af Föstudagsröðinni og eru um klukkustundarlangir.

This concert will feature music that the Iceland Symphony Orchestra will be carrying on its European tour. Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto is one of the most admired solo works in music history, and here the soloist, Kian Soltani,'s unique mastery of his instrument is fully given room to shine. This emotionally charged music was sparked by the horrors of World War I and the anguish that the conflict created, both in relations between nations and in the minds of sensitive artists such as Elgar himself.

The Firebird is also along for the journey, the vibrant orchestral suite that Igor Stravinsky adapted from his revolutionary ballet that premiered in 1910. This bird springs from Russian folklore, the music is vibrant and uses all the possibilities of a symphony orchestra to the fullest. The work pits good and evil forces against each other, but fortunately everything works out beautifully in the end.

The concert is part of the Friday Series and is approximately one hour long.
