About this event
Schubert: Symphony No 8 ('Unfinished')
Wieniawski: Violin Concerto No 2
Beethoven: Symphony No 5
Conductor: Agata Zając
Violin: Jennifer Pike
Why Schubert never finished his eighth symphony has been one of music’s great unanswered questions. It comprises just 2 luminous movements and the first few tantalising bars of a third. There have been numerous attempts to 'finish' it, but it remains at its best the way Schubert left it.
Polish violin virtuoso Henryk Wieniawski was a contemporary of Max Bruch. The second violin concerto is generally considered his finest work: richly melodic and a popular concerto of the Romantic era. We're delighted to perform it with Polish conductor Agata Zając and internationally renowned soloist Jennifer Pike, who has roots in both Stockport and Poland.
And to conclude our season, the epic, iconic masterpiece Beethoven's fifth symphony, 200 years and 3 months after his death on 26 March 1827.
