Respected pianist Steven Osborne performs Beethoven鈥檚 majestic 鈥楨mperor鈥� piano concerto in a concert featuring the UK premiere of Christopher Rouse鈥檚 Prospero鈥檚 Rooms, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe鈥檚 short story The Masque of the Red Death and Leonid Andreyev鈥檚 play The Black Maskers. The spark of inspiration for Lutoslawski鈥檚 richly imagined Concerto for Orchestra was the folk music of the Kurpie region in Poland. Expect a feast of dazzling virtuosity from the orchestra鈥檚 players under the baton of Micha艂 Nesterowicz.

Please note that Micha艂 Nesterowicz and Steven Osborne replace the originally advertised conductor and soloist.
