Tchaikovsky        Symphony No.5

Sombre strings descend into crashing percussion before giving way to the Romantic, lilting theme of Shakespeare’s play in Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture.

2012 BBC Young Musician competition winner Laura van der Heijden gives a dazzling performances f Tchaikovsky’s light-hearted Variations on a Rococo Theme. ‘The beauty of Laura van der Heijden’s playing lies in the fact that she has a wonderful expressivity, but never. Ever overdoes it…enchanting’ – Bachtrack

Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.5, combining dark motifs with an impassioned love theme, is the perfect closer to this winter concert.
