2022 BBC Philharmonic concerts in the 2021/22 season open up the opportunity for all Bridgewater Hall audiences to access free programme notes via smartphones. You can choose to access information about the performance in two ways:
Programme Notes: Programme notes similar to a traditional printed programme, with summary information about the music and the composers
BBC Notes: Detailed programme notes, timed with the music, giving you insights into what you are hearing and seeing on stage as it happens

Use the QR code printed on your ticket to access either. Both options are completely free with your concert ticket but please be aware that mobile phone use is unrestricted and applies to all seating areas within The Bridgewater Hall.

Anja Bihlmaier conductor | Leonard Elschenbroich cello

Ustvolskaya
Suite
Shostakovich No.9 in E flat major
Dvořák Cello Concerto in B minor

Antonin Dvořák’s only Cello Concerto is an intensely personal work, inspired in part by the fading health of his first love – and cellist Leonard Elschenbroich, a former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, will bring his trademark flair to this towering tour de force. Also tonight, conductor Anja Bihlmaier takes us to Russia: first with a witty set of sports-inspired miniatures by Galina Ustvolskaya, a pupil of Shostakovich when the Second World War began; and then with Shostakovich’s own brilliantly irreverent Ninth Symphony, written in 1945 but far from a victory march.
