Latest In March NSO welcomes former BBC Young Musician of the Year, Guy Johnston (pictured), to play the Dvorak Cello Concerto. Guy will be the second former Young Musician winner to play with Orchestra in as many years. Violin sensation Nicola Benedetti performed the Beethoven concerto with NSO in November of 2010. The March concert is an all Dvorak affair featuring his Scherzo Capriccioso and the much loved 9th Symphony (New World).

In the second half the monumental Shostakovich 10th Symphony took centre stage.
