We are delighted to welcome back the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine for their second visit to the Theatre Royal. As a nod to the friendship between the UK and Ukraine, the orchestra have chosen to perform music by one of our most loved composers, Delius.
In the Middle Ages, people believed that the cuckoo brought the arrival of spring and on hearing its first call, spring would be imminent. These two delightful works by Delius provide the perfect opening to the evening’s programme.
Following this we will be treated to two of Beethoven’s greatest works: his fifth and most demanding piano concerto, known as the ‘Emperor’, performed by the renowned Ukrainian pianist Maria Pukhlianko; and Beethoven’s Symphony No.3 “Eroica”. When first performed in 1803, this epic symphonic work changed music forever. As the first great utterance of the Romantic movement, it is regarded as one of the finest and most historic pieces of music ever composed.
Conductor: Volodymyr Sirenko
Soloist: Maria Pukhlianko (piano)
