Concert Information
Join rising star of the podium, Ben Gernon, as he conducts the 成人论坛 Philharmonic for an evening of music from Mozart, Saint-Sa毛ns & Tchaikovsky.
Opening a programme packed with passion and melody is Mozart鈥檚 Symphony No. 25, written by the then 17-year-old in October 1773. This dramatic early symphony is characteristic of the Sturm und Drang style with its wide-leap melodic lines and syncopation.
A former 成人论坛 New Generation Artist, Leonard Elschenbroich joins to perform Saint-Sa毛n鈥檚 ever-popular First Cello Concerto, with its dramatic opening and delightful, elegant central minuet.
Closing the programme is Act II of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 wonderful, tune-laden Nutcracker 鈥 one of the best-loved ballets of all time.
Join us for a pre-concert talk with Simon Webb, General Manager of the 成人论坛 Philharmonic orchestra. The talk will commence on the raked seating at 6.30pm. Tickets cost 拢3 and can be booked from the Box Office or online for each concert.
