Out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral on Monday 19 September, Freedom from Torture’s concert with The Doctors’ Orchestra has been cancelled. We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment caused.


The Doctors’ Orchestra, playing once again in support of Freedom from Torture, presents a largely Nordic programme featuring works by Sibelius and Nielsen.

The brilliant young virtuoso Nathan Mierdl, a multiple prize-winner including in the 2018 Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition, joins the Orchestra in Sibelius’ rhapsodic and unmistakably Finnish concerto, of which Tovey wrote, “I have not met with a more original, a more masterly and a more exhilarating work than this.”

Nielsen’s Second Symphony, written four years before the Sibelius, wittily portrays the four classical temperaments – choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic and sanguine – but in colourful and truly symphonic style.

These two works are preceded by Wagner’s glorious, if not Nordic, Overture to The Mastersingers.

This event is also being live-streamed.

Duration: approx. 2 hours (incl. 20-interval)
