A real treat for concert-attenders in Hanley this evening, as the 麻豆社 Philharmonic previews the opening concert of its Bridgewater Hall 2014/15 Season at the Victoria Hall.
鈥極h you millions, I embrace you 鈥� here鈥檚 a kiss for all the world!鈥� Every performance of Beethoven鈥檚 Ninth Symphony is a special event: from dark opening to the final blazing 'Ode to Joy', it鈥檚 one of the greatest emotional journeys in all music.
The programme begins with the headlong energy and rapier wit of Beethoven鈥檚 brilliant Fourth Symphony.
Unfortunately, due to ill health, Rebecca Evans (Soprano) will not be performing at this concert. Raquel Lojendio will sing in Rebecca鈥檚 place.
