A Valentine’s concert with a marvellously classy difference.
They called them the Romantic generation: composers who let their imaginations run wild, painting landscapes in sound and revelling in untamed emotions, daredevil feats, and (of course) love. That’s the story we’re telling today, as brother-and-sister geniuses Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn stretch their creative wings, and take a tuneful tour of the Highlands in Felix’s stirring ‘Scottish’ Symphony. And then LPO Fellow Conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg and Principal Clarinet Benjamin Mellefont rediscover the music of Louis Spohr. Contemporaries thought he was up there with Beethoven, and you’re about to hear why.
Tickets from £17.50 (inclusive of booking fees)
