Our third concert features another clever piece of programming: Schubert's delightfully winning Symphony No 5 is followed by Bruckner's shortest symphony: his seismic, turbulent and (finally) transcendent Ninth Symphony.

The final concert features four short classics. In the first half, Prokofiev's seventh symphony is teamed with Arutiunian's dashing trumpet concerto - featuring our own trumpet principal, Martin Bunce. Afterwards, Borodin's pint-sized tone poem 'In the Steppes of Central Asia' is followed by the careering fire, stirring drums and wild cannon of Tchaikovsky's '1812' Overture. See you there!

Schumann Overture “Manfred”

Grieg Piano Concerto in A MinorSoloist Alexander Soares

Tchaikovsky Manfred Symphony

We open the season with two 'takes' on the romantic period pin-up, Manfred: Schumann's broodingly magnificent 'Manfred' overture and Tchaikovsky's rich and dramatic

'Manfred' symphony. In between we feature serial international prizewinner Alexander Soares in Grieg's endlessly tuneful piano concerto. Not to be missed!

Beethoven Overture "Prometheus"

Sibelius Symphony No 4 in A minor

Beethoven Violin Concerto in D majorSoloist Mathieu van Bellen

Beethoven takes pride of place in our second concert: his powerful 'Prometheus' Overture and his fabulous violin concerto frame Sibelius' moodily

brilliant Symphony No 4. We are delighted to once again feature rising star Mathieu van Bellen and his Guadagnini violin, this time in one of Beethoven's most iconic works.
