Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto no. 1

Poet, lover, dreamer, radical: Robert Schumann was the ultimate Romantic. So we’re thrilled to welcome Sir Roger Norrington, a conductor who’s devoted his career to making this music sound fresh, passionate and new. He’s going to conduct all four of Schumann’s symphonies across two Seasons: tonight, the joyous fanfares of the Spring Symphony and the bubbling high spirits of the Overture, Scherzo and Finale launch us on a fantastic journey. And with the award-winning Roman Rabinovich, Mendelssohn’s exuberant First Piano Concerto will positively sparkle.
