Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto – one of the best known violin concertos of the repertoire, but one whose difficulty led the intended original player to refuse its premiere performance – then follows. A virtuoso display from Jennifer Pike awaits. With its instantly recognisable opening (‘Da da da dum’), Beethoven’s Fifth is the best known composition in classical music and the most frequently performed symphony. An emphatic and euphoric close to the season with ‘one of the most important works of all time’. Leeds Town Hall, Leeds DD/MM/YYYYDetails
