Description

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra perform Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky

Tonight, conductor Olivia Clarke will lead the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in one of Tchaikovsky’s most highly regarded works (albeit one that was overshadowed by the composer’s untimely death just nine days after its premiere): his Sixth Symphony, ‘Pathétique’. This towering work perfectly encapsulates the composer’s ability to translate emotional power into music.

Performing Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.3 will be the outstanding Canadian pianist and 2024 winner of the Dame Fanny Waterman Gold Medal at the Leeds International Piano Competition, Jaeden Izik-Dzurko. Throughout its 40-odd minutes, Rachmaninoff maintains an extraordinary degree of melodic and structural spontaneity, fully reflecting the blistering speed at which the work was composed.
