Programme Note
Think of tonight’s concert as a sandwich. Two delicious slices of music from the Romantic era surround a delicate and tangy filling. ‘Elongation of Nights’ is full of exquisite shimmering strings, starting as a fine thread of sound before broadening to something urgent and insistent, before fading back to a memory.
Brahms’ epic second concerto starts your evening off, while Schumann’s symphony is intense, grabbing your attention right from the start, and closes your night in thrilling style.
