Coleridge-Taylor Ballade in A minor, Op. 33
Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 19
Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36

Martha Argerich piano
Marios Papadopoulos conductor

The great Martha Argerich returns to the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra as a concerto soloist, in Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto, surrounded in this programme by orchestral music of brilliance and drama. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade promises a wild ride: its energy and urgency will make any audience sit up and listen. To close, Marios Papadopoulos conducts Tchaikovsky’s great symphonic tussle with fate. In his red-blooded Symphony No. 4, the composer who always wore his heart on his sleeve manages to mine the consolation of hope from the turmoil of tragedy and despair, creating a live music experience like no other.

Supported by Prof. Christopher Wood
