Concert Information

Happy birthday, Stephen Hough! The brilliant pianist and polymath turns 60 this month and celebrates with one of his party pieces: the fizzing Fourth Piano Concerto by Camille Saint-Saëns.

Conductor Carlo Goldstein opens with Liszt’s symphonic poem and ends with Paul Ben-Haim’s rich, romantic and deeply rewarding Second Symphony, completed in the aftermath of the Second World War.
