About the Event
Prepare for an evening of dazzling energy and extraordinary virtuosity with Bath Philharmonia. The concert bursts into life with Mikhail Glinka’s exhilarating Overture to Ruslan and Ludmila before soaring into the radiant optimism of Brittany J Green’s Testify! — described as “a little slice of heaven on earth.” Moments of reflection follow, including the meltingly beautiful horn solo in the second movement of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. The programme reaches its thrilling climax with Sergei Rachmaninov’s iconic Piano Concerto No. 3: a towering masterpiece of passion, intensity, and technical brilliance, performed by the incomparable Sir Stephen Hough. Led by guest conductor George Jackson, this concert promises a compelling journey through sparkling innovation and profound emotional depth.
