The Spring Concert

The ESO Spring concert features three great pieces full of originality and complexity, genius, and inspiring tunes one of which has been referred to as ‘the tune that drove composers wild’. Don’t miss this concert!

Nielsen: Symphony No. 5
A two movement work of great contrasts, and quintessential characteristics of Nielsen’s thoughts in musical writing - conflict and life assertion.

Mozart: Symphony No. 41

Mozart's final three symphonies are surely a great reason why we must lament the early passing of this genius - what might have happened had he lived another thirty years - the craftsmanship, complexity and musical textures would surely have continued to astound us.

Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, soloist William Galton

This is a welcome return for William Galton who played with the orchestra back in 2007. Since that time William has won international piano prizes and has given recitals in Vienna. We are delighted to welcome him back for the Spring Concert.
