This concert is part of Â鶹Éç Radio 3’s Manchester Week - celebrating music-making in Manchester with a week of special broadcasts starting on Monday 24 January.
The last of Greater Manchester-born William Walton's three concertos, forms the centrepiece of the Â鶹Éç Philharmonic's live concert and they are joined by cellist Guy Johnston, who trained at Manchester's Chetham's School of Music. Beethoven's Fourth Symphony opens our programme with a question before diving headlong into energetic and positive resolution. Dance rhythms and opulent melody shine through Dvorak's Eighth Symphony, which closes the evening with some of the best-known melodies in the orchestral repertoire.
