Beethoven Five
Sat 20 Feb 2027: 7.30pm

Walton Spitfire Prelude and Fugue (9’)
Lutosławski Cello Concerto (23’)
Beethoven Symphony No5 (34’)

Thomas Søndergård Conductor
Pablo Ferrández Cello

It’s raw feeling. It’s rock ’n’ roll. It’s a revolution in four notes. It’s Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony: music that makes the composer the star, with no emotion off limit. If you’ve heard it before, you’ll know that you can never hear it often enough; if you haven’t - well, you’re in for the ride of your life. Thomas Sondergard conducts it tonight, along with Walton’s movie classic and the ear-tingling sonic adventures of Lutosławski’s Cello Concerto, played by the fabulous Pablo Ferrández. Don’t miss it.
