Change of conductor

Conductor Paavo Jarvi will now appear with the Philharmonia Orchestra, British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, and trumpeter Jason Evans at the Royal Albert Hall.

About This Event

The sophisticated, transfigured Baroque dances of Ravel鈥檚 Le tombeau de Couperin offset Shostakovich鈥檚 boisterous Piano Concerto No. 1, with its cheeky sprinkling of quotations from Classical giants Beethoven and Haydn among others.

These two works of neo-Baroque and neo-Classical influences are followed by Mozart鈥檚 final symphony, the 鈥楯upiter鈥�, a high point of the 鈥榯rue鈥� Classical-period canon. Nicknamed posthumously for its majestic first movement and epic finale, the work is a summation of Mozart鈥檚 symphonic output with its unique blend of grandeur and subtlety.

It will not be possible to have an audience at the Royal Albert Hall.
