Sir John Rutter | Conductor |
Steven Osborne | Piano |
John Roberts | Oboe |
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra |
He’s too modest to admit it, but Sir John Rutter might just be the world’s best-loved living classical composer. Millions have sung his music, millions more have been touched by it: fresh, sincere and written with genuine love, it’s part of all our lives. For the RPO, any chance to work with Sir John is a special occasion, and tonight’s concert is no exception as he conducts his piano concerto Reflections, which will be performed by British pianist Steven Osborne. That’s the highlight of a concert that features two of Sir John’s favourite American classics – pure uplift – and another, very special treat, as he conducts RPO Principal Oboe John Roberts in a delightful solo showpiece. Experience musical history in the making.
