Brahms is at the forefront of this concert of Romantic masterpieces beginning with Swedish composer Britta Byström’s UK premiere of A Walk to Brahms’ Violin Concerto.

This short piece explores themes from Brahms’ Violin Concerto, coupled with a modern spirit. Then, head back in time to hear the original composition in full with internationally acclaimed violinist, Clara Jumi Kang.

Tchaikovsky’s magnificent Fifth Symphony takes us on an exhilarating journey from darkness to light; opening in a mood of sombre introspection, it ends in a spirit of triumphant jubilation. The slow second movement is a special treat, containing a gorgeous melody for solo horn that is one of Tchaikovsky’s most inspired creations.
