Performances of Robert Schumann at BBC Music

In a programme putting our fantastic musicians front and centre we kick off our 2025-26 season in BBC Hoddinott Hall with a showcase for our brass section – Schumann’s Four Marches.

The "stunning" (Bachtrack) 24-year-old violin virtuoso Daniel Lozakovich performs a soulful masterpiece before Romantic Rachmaninov. Plus, there's a special tribute to a much-missed member of the BBC SSO family, former Leader Laura Samuel.

The BBC Singers are joined by Owain Park in a programme exploring the theme of nature through choral music.

Elegant and virtuosic, Haydn’s Cello Concerto in D Major is celebrated for both its charm and technical brilliance, filled lyrical melodies, high-register passages and rapid runs.

Although less frequently performed that some of his other symphonies, Beethoven’s Second Symphony is a snapshot of Beethoven at his most humorous. Unpredictability and playfulness tally with a bold explosion of joy in this vividly contrasting symphony.
