Sibelius 5

The evening

Winner of the 2025 RCM Concerto Competition, Misha Kaploukhii comes to G Live, joining conductor Oliver Zeffman and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as soloist in Beethoven’s poetic Piano Concerto No.4. To close the concert, the Orchestra will perform Sibelius' Symphony No.5 in all its glory, from its enigmatic opening to the blazing triumphal finale. But first, the evening opens with Carl Nielsen’s life-affirming Helios Overture, the Danish composer’s radiant evocation of the sun god and his chariot as it journeys across the sky. Misha Kaploukhii’s appearance today is made possible by the generous support of the Hattori Foundation for Music and the Arts.
