“Jurassic Park is a spectacle of special effects and life-like animatronics, with some of Spielberg's best sequences of sustained awe and sheer terror.” So said the critics.

The concert opens with a deep exploration of Romanticism in Ravel’s La Valse and follows with the “unstoppable energy” of Adés’ Tevot. We conclude our season with the pinnacle of Beethoven’s lineage, Gustav Mahler and his “Titan” Symphony. “You won't want to miss a minute of this outstanding symphony which cannot fail to stir the soul - and leave you with a determined sense that anguish and loneliness can be banished and the human spirit will triumph.” – Classical FM
