About this concert
We’re teaming up with Beatrice Rana to perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3. The Italian musician’s profound pianism was centre stage when she made solo appearances with us in 2018 (Chopin) and 2020 (Tchaikovsky). Now she’s back with the piano concerto with which Beethoven stormily heralded nineteenth-century Romanticism. Piano and orchestra are equal partners here, and it promises to be an exciting collaboration!
The Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’s magisterial Symphony No. 2 comes right at the end of the Romantic period. It’s an intensely personal work that touches music lovers around the world every time it’s performed – and has done for over 120 years. The Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, who regularly conducts the orchestra, is the perfect interpreter for this magnificent, compelling music from his neighbouring country.
