Part of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2011/12 Resident Season, Series discount available

Repertoire

Strauss
Don Juan
Elgar
Cello Concerto
Sibelius
Symphony No. 5

Performers

Alexander Shelley
conductor
Guy Johnston
cello

An irresistible programme boasting three gems of the repertoire. Don Juan is one of the most technically demanding works written for the orchestra, requiring huge skill from every single musician. Marvel at the virtuosity of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as it tells the story of the unfortunate philanderer, portrayed by Strauss with great wit and energy.

Then cellist Guy Johnston takes centre stage for Elgar’s Cello Concerto, a work of intense beauty and searing emotion.

Sibelius made numerous wonderful contributions to the symphonic repertoire, none more glorious than the Fifth Symphony, culminating in a breathtaking finale with its sweeping French horn theme.

Free pre-concert talk from 6.30pm
Meet the Artists, presented by Edward Seckerson.
