The Hallé orchestra, conducted by Alpesh Chauhan, presents an engaging programme of British and Russian classics. Pianist Denis Kozhukhin performs Rachmaninov's challenging Third Piano Concerto, renowned for its sweeping melodies and technical demands. The concert opens with Britten's Courtly Dances from Gloriana, which capture the spirit of Elizabethan music with 20th-century perspective. Walton's First Symphony, widely regarded as one of Britain's finest, concludes the evening with its ambitious orchestration and dramatic intensity. A pre-concert talk at 6:20pm introduces Walton's symphony.
