Change of conductor and repertoire
Due to illness, Clemens Schuldt will not conduct this concert. We are grateful to Alpesh Chauhan for taking his place. Please note that Brahms's Tragic Overture replaces the originally advertised Spring and Summer from Glazunov’s The Seasons.
This afternoon’s live BBC Radio 3 broadcast ends with Tchaikovsky’s final completed symphony, Symphony No. 6 ‘Pathétique’ - which he described as 'the best thing I ever composed or shall compose.' It is a thrilling exploration of the limits of human existence and emotions.
