Concert Information

Nothing in British music is more thrilling than the opening of Elgar’s Second Symphony, and nothing quite matches what follows: a no-holds barred emotional autobiography, ending in a sunset of heart-breaking beauty. Juanjo Mena guides us through the emotions and shares the brilliant musical fireworks of Lutosławski’s Symphonic Variations. And between post-war Poland and Edwardian England, the bridge is Chopin: the timeless romance of his First Piano Concerto played tonight by one of today’s true keyboard poets, Garrick Ohlsson.

Preview 6.30pm
