Programme Highlights

Beethoven Violin Concerto in D Major
Beethoven's Violin Concerto is a masterpiece known for its lyrical beauty and depth. With its soaring melodies and intricate interplay between the soloist and orchestra, the concerto is an enduring favourite in the classical repertoire. Fenella Humphreys, whose recordings have been praised as "brilliant" and "luminous" by critics, brings her exceptional technical skill and heartfelt interpretation to this iconic piece. Her deep connection with Beethoven's music is sure to reveal the concerto's subtleties, from its serene opening to the lively final movement.
Beethoven Symphony No. 3 Eroica
The Eroica Symphony marked a revolutionary shift in symphonic music, breaking from tradition with its bold themes and emotional power. Originally conceived as a tribute to Napoleon, Beethoven ultimately dedicated the symphony to the spirit of heroism itself. Under Jonathan Bloxham's expert baton, the London Mozart Players will bring out the dynamic contrasts and intensity of this landmark work, from its commanding opening to its triumphant, jubilant finale.
