Concert Information

The 成人论坛 Philharmonic opens Blackburn Classics with a beautiful collection of German masterpieces conducted by Elena Schwarz.

奥别产别谤鈥檚 Der Freisch眉tz begins with a stunning horn quartet that sets the scene for the story of Max, the out-of-luck-huntsman, who makes a pact with the Devil to take part in a shooting contest to win the hand of his sweetheart, Agathe.

Brahms wrote his Double Concerto whilst on a summer holiday in Switzerland and here, two vibrant young artists, Daniel Pioro and Anastasia Kobekina, will bring this masterful concerto vividly to life.

"No one can love the countryside as much as I do" wrote Beethoven, and this love was eloquently expressed in the composer鈥檚 timeless Pastoral Symphony. With its depictions of the 鈥渉appy song of the birds", the "sweet murmur of a brook" the "dreaded storm" and much more, it never fails to inspire and delight.
