Rachmaninov takes you on a journey of discovery with his Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini. Infusing rich romantic harmonies, plainchant melodies and dynamic rhythms, this gem is regarded as one of the Romantic period's greatest works.
Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture provides a dramatic and rich opening before Tchaikovsky’s epic Symphony No.4 brings the concert to a close, with its powerful and wild journey from darkness to light.
