An award-winning conductor will be on the podium directing The Hallé orchestra in a performance of Ravel’s La Valse to celebrate Sheffield City Hall’s 90th anniversary.

The orchestra’s assistant conductor Delyana Lazarova is the winner of the inaugural Siemens Hallé International Conductors Competition.

At the concert in the City Hall on September 23, Delyana will introduce the Hallé’s newest Artist in Residence, her Bulgarian compatriot, but long-British based, Dobrinka Tabakova. Dobrinka’s vibrant Cello Concerto will be performed by British cellist Guy Johnston.

The concert concludes with Tchaikovsky’s ‘Pathétique’ Symphony, widely regarded as the composer’s greatest symphonic achievement. This symphony embraces a first movement of raw emotions, a teasing waltz, a barnstorming march and a tragic slow finale.
