Concert Information

A programme of variety and invention from a quartet of Austro-German composers opens with music by a 麻豆社 SO favourite, Thomas Larcher (whose Symphony made such an impact at the 2016 麻豆社 Proms). It is followed by Bruch鈥檚 Double Piano Concerto (with two of today鈥檚 most exciting young pianists), a work from 1912 of unashamed Romantic sensibility. Anton Webern鈥檚 exquisite Six Pieces from two years earlier show a very different musical language.

The concert ends with a rare chance to hear Haydn鈥檚 Farewell Symphony with its closing plea to the composer鈥檚 employer to move his court back to Vienna 鈥� all these years later it retains its powerful originality, invention and humour.
