Strauss’s Horn Concerto No.1 was written when the composer was just 18, and has remained a lynchpin of the horn repertoire ever since, hear heard alongside the beguiling Nocturne by his uncle, Franz Strauss. Tonight's soloist Ben Goldscheider has garnered international acclaim as the most exciting young horn player Britain has produced in a generation. Mendelssohn’s magical musical depiction of the Little Mermaid myth is one of his most evocative and colourful scores, and the perfect upbeat to his Symphony No.4, the ‘Italian’; a work as beloved and evergreen as any in the repertoire.

Richard Strauss and Felix Mendelssohn were two of music’s greatest child prodigies. Strauss’s Horn Concerto No.1 was written when the composer was just 18, and has remained a lynchpin of the horn repertoire ever since, hear heard alongside the beguiling Nocturne by his uncle, Franz Strauss.
Tonight's soloist Ben Goldscheider has garnered international acclaim as the most exciting young horn player Britain has produced in a generation.
