Britain’s exciting young superstar of the horn, Ben Goldscheider, joins the ESO for Strauss’s Everest of horn concertos, and the programme opens with the magical horn quartet which sets the scene for Humperdink’s operatic fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel Save on English Symphony Orchestra performances at Cheltenham Town Hall when you book multiple concerts.
