SUMMARY:Brigantes Variations with Tim Horton (Piano)
DESCRIPTION:HAYDN Symphony No. 94 in G\, Surprise\nLUTOSLAWSKI Paganini Variations\ninterval\nRACHMANINOV Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\nBRAHMS Haydn Variations \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year\, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas – beautiful melodies\, vivid storytelling\, nature\, memory and national character – have been reimagined again and again. Why not guarantee your seat at every concert and save 20% on the whole lot by buying a season ticket! \nOur journey begins in 1792 with Haydn’s famous Surprise Symphony and a musical idea everyone can follow: take a tune and transform it! Four composers show how the same principal of variation can sound witty\, lyrical\, virtuosic or brilliantly modern. We’re thrilled to welcome back Tim Horton after his wonderful performance of Grieg last season!

SUMMARY:The Hallé – Imogen Cooper performs Mozart
DESCRIPTION:Hallé award-winning conductor Euan Shields is joined by Dame Imogen Cooper to perform Mozart’s final piano concerto. Written in striking contrast to his other concertos\, Mozart’s 27th Piano Concerto\, full of richness and lyricism\, is scored for a relatively small orchestra. Nevertheless\, it is still packed with the charm and beauty so characteristic of the composer’s other works. \nBeginning proceedings is Stravinsky’s Song of the Nightingale – an effective musical illustration of both real and mechanical birdsong. Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony\, dubbed “Little Russian” thanks to its effective use of Ukrainian folksongs\, provides a joyful end to the evening. \nEuan Shields conductor\nImogen Cooper piano \nSTRAVINSKY Song of the Nightingale (21)\nMOZART Piano Concerto No.27\, K595 (32)\nTCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No.2 “Little Russian” (32)

ORGANIZER;CN="Sheffield Symphony Orchestra":MAILTO:For Potential Players The SSO takes pride in the friendliness and supportive attitude between players. We believe this is why members have such long-standing loyalty and commitment to the orchestra. However, our membership does need to remain large enough to present the extensive repertoire we offer. In particular, we are looking to recruit more string players, especially violin and viola players of all ages. If you are interested, you can come along to a mutual trial period to see if it feels right. We rehearse weekly on Wednesday evenings from early September to late June, except during school holidays. To develop our orchestral sound, we plan to have day schools this season. This will be combined with social occasions to foster the orchestral camaraderie. We play to a high standard so players are expected to be a minimum level of grade 7 and usually around grade 8 or above. If the SSO’s description seems to match what you are looking for and you are curious, don’t hesitate to contact us via the website or Facebook, tweet us on Twitter, or call 07901 566960 to find out more.

SUMMARY:SYMPHONIC DANCES FOR TWO PIANOS – Tim Horton & Ivana Gavrić
DESCRIPTION:DEBUSSY En blanc et noir (16’)\nRAVEL La valse  (12’)\nRACHMANINOV Symphonic Dances (30’)  \nPresented by Music in the Round\, with their 2025 two-piano concert described as “piano playing at its most… visceral” (Bachtrack)\, Tim Horton and Ivana Gavrić return to the Crucible Playhouse for a concert of spellbinding and exhilarating music for two pianos. Rachmaninov’s own arrangement of his ‘Symphonic Dances’ takes centre stage\, with its arresting rhythmic passages and virtuosic energy. Debussy’s ‘En blanc et noir’\, by contrast\, sees expressionist clouds of colour conjured from the two pianos\, while Ravel’s poetic ‘La valse’ is best described by the composer himself: “Whirling clouds give glimpses\, through rifts\, of couples dancing. The clouds scatter\, little by little. One sees an immense hall peopled with a twirling crowd. The scene is gradually illuminated. The light of the chandeliers bursts forth\, fortissimo”.  \nSave 20% when you book for 10 or more Music in the Round Sheffield concerts in one transaction.\nSave 10% when you book for 5 or more Music in the Round Sheffield concerts in one transaction.

SUMMARY:The Hallé – Grieg Piano Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Lionel Bringuier conductor\nJulius Asal piano \n2025’s astounding winner of the prestigious Terence Judd-Hallé Award\, Julius Asal\, joins forces with returning Hallé conductor Lionel Bringuier for a performance of Grieg’s youthful Piano Concerto. From its thunderous opening timpani roll\, through a heart-stoppingly beautiful Adagio to a rousing final movement\, this stunning work has it all. \nThis Nordic-themed programme opens with Esa-Pekka Salonen’s enigmatic Helix\, described by the composer as a spiralling “nine-minute accelerando”. While the pulse of the piece increases gradually throughout\, the note values get proportionately longer\, creating a fascinating experience for the audience\, where the work seems to simultaneously speed up and slow down. \nSibelius composed his Second Symphony shortly after the successful premiere of Finlandia. The symphony premiered in 1902 to great public admiration\, its rousing finale linked by many to Finland’s struggle for independence. Whether intentionally patriotic or not\, the symphony’s swelling melodic richness makes for a truly moving performance. \nESA-PEKKA SALONEN Helix (9)\nGRIEG Piano Concerto (30)\nSIBELIUS Symphony No.2 (43)
