The concert opens with Beethoven’s Symphony No.3, ‘Eroica’, a work that, in its ambition, unprecedented scale and emotional depth, heralded the beginning of the Romantic era.
Elgar’s Violin Concerto in B minor is widely considered to match the melodic beauty of Beethoven. It is undoubtedly the greatest English contribution to the treasury of Romantic violin concertos, the smaller episodes flowing together seamlessly to produce a body of juxtaposed intimacy and electric brilliance. Don't miss this this unique opportunity to hear acclaimed violinist and classical music icon Pinchas Zukerman take to the stage to perform this magnificent concerto.
