Performer: Alpesh Chauhan

Doom – both personal and cosmic – and its aftermath are the focus of Alpesh Chauhan’s Hallé concert at Sheffield’s City Hall.

In a programme very much rooted in the spirit dance, Britten’s Violin Concerto shines through in Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall. 

Two very different natural worlds are connected in a compelling performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony and Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde, featuring Karen Cargill and Brenden Gunnell.

Leaping in at short notice, Alpesh Chauhan conducts The Hallé in Strauss, Herz and Prokofiev with lively charisma in a colourful programme.

Alpesh Chauhan conducts the BBC Philharmonic in a striking programme of 20th- and 21st-century works including the UK premiere of Anna Clyne's The Moment. 

Music by Elgar, Liszt and Brahms form an attractive and scrupulously prepared programme, delivered with great aplomb by Alpesh Chauhan and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
