Francesca Dego rounds off 2024 at The Wigmore
Violinist Francesca Dego rounds off 2024 with a recital at the Wigmore Hall on Monday 30th December. No stranger to the Wigmore stage, together with pianist Alessandro Taverna, she performs Beethoven’s extraordinary “Kreitzer” Sonata No. 9 alongside Schoenberg’s Fantasy and Richard Strauss’ Violin Sonata. In anticipation of the recital, Francesca appears as a guest on BBC Radio 3’s ‘Saturday Morning’ show, hosted by Gareth Malone. Listen live on Saturday 28th December or catch up on BBC Sounds.
Having drawn 2024 to its close, Francesca begins 2025 with a tour of the US, appearing with the symphony orchestras of Detroit, San Diego — with conductor Daniele Rustioni —, and Vancouver — with conductor Otto Tausk — with three cornerstone works of the repertory: Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 and the Violin Concertos of Busoni and Beethoven respectively.
