Mendelssohn and Beethoven

A vibrant programme featuring Mendelssohn’s sun-drenched Italian Symphony, together with Judith Weir’s Heroic Strokes of the Bow, a piece inspired by the art of Paul Klee, it’s dynamic energy reflecting the artist’s energetic brush strokes. Alongside these works you’ll hear the evocative London Landscapes by the Menuhin School’s former Director of Music, Malcolm Singer.

At the heart of the programme is Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.3; dark, dramatic and with a slow movement of almost unbearable beauty. The exceptional pianist Paul Salard, youngest ever winner of the prestigious Young Pianist Foundation European Competition, is the soloist.

Experience “superb playing… the highest level of excellence” (The Telegraph) in an unforgettable evening of music as Orpheus Sinfonia make their Menuhin Hall debut, starting a dynamic new partnership with the Menuhin School.
