A concert featuring Beethoven’s famous Egmont Overture, composed for Goethe’s play of the same name, his joyous Symphony No.8 of 1812, and not one but two piano concertos. Rising star Diana Brekalo will be joined by trumpeter Angela Whelan in Shostakovich’s entertaining Piano Concerto No.1 from the 1930s, preceded by the eagerly awaited premiere of the Piano Concerto by British composer Peter Fribbins, well known for his dramatic and memorably melodic musical style.
