About this event
Three German composers grace our January concert.
It's the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's death this year, and Callum Smart is back to treat us to his interpretation of Beethoven's iconic violin concerto.
The concerto is preceded by one of Brahms' equally well-known pieces. The Hungarian Dance is number 5 of 21 which, originally for piano, have all been orchestrated at various times by musicians. It's short and sweet and based on the Hungarian folk dance, the csárdás.
To finish we have what was confusingly the last of Schumann's symphonies but numbered 3 of 4! Apparently at the end of the premiere the orchestra joined the audience in congratulating Schumann by shouting 'hurrah!' It's possible we won't, but we hope you might!
Conductor: Robert Guy
Violin: Callum Smart
