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)

SUMMARY:WRE SALON with Alice Power (2025 Prix Cortot winner)
DESCRIPTION:FRANCK: Violin Sonata (1886)\nCHOPIN: Piano Concerto no 2 (1829)\, original chamber version\nThis concert gains a special resonance from soloist\, Alice Power\, 2025 laureate of the Prix Cortot of the École Normale de Musique de Paris. Honouring Alfred Cortot—legendary pianist\, editor and teacher\, and co-founder of the École—the prize places Alice within a lineage in which Chopin and Franck are touchstones. Cortot himself studied piano in Paris with Chopin pupil Émile Decombes and is widely considered to be one of the composer’s finest interpreters\, whilst his performances of Franck with violinist Jacques Thibaud are legendary for their supple phrasing and helped cement the sonata’s place in the repertoire. This concert’s pairing mirrors Cortot’s own artistic world: the intimacy of Chopin heard at chamber scale\, and the poetic architecture of the Franco-Belgian tradition at its peak. \nChopin’s Piano Concerto no 2 in F minor appears here in the original scoring for string quintet\, a salon-scale medium Chopin himself favoured\, and one that Cortot prized for its clarity and conversational give-and-take (although he himself produced an orchestration and famously recorded it with the London Symphony Orchestra and Barbirolli in 1935). In this chamber guise the concerto speaks with heightened intimacy: the strings are true partners in dialogue with the piano—exactly the sort of close-quarters eloquence that Cortot’s legacy celebrates. \nDavid Milsom—founder and artistic director of the West Riding Ensemble—is one of only a handful of global authorities on violin playing in the long 19th-century; his Romantic Violin Performing Practices: A Handbook (2020\, Boydell & Brewer) explores the topic in hands-on terms\, inviting fellow violinists to revisit practices that were trademarks of Franck’s world. \nDavid and Alice first performed together at the official launch of WRE in September 2024\, when the ensemble revelled in a shared passion for Shostakovich’s chamber music. Now they come together again to delve into another common interest with Franck’s violin sonata. \nIn keeping with the raison d’être of WRE\, the quintet line-up for this concert sees talented young students\, Maria Nikolaeva\, Perris Heath\, and Lucas Jordan\, working with seasoned musicians in a professional recital. WRE is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to give a professional platform to emerging young musicians in an ‘apprentice’ model\, and pays students a fair fee for their work. \nAlice Power | piano\nDavid Milsom | violin\nWRE Quintet | David Milsom & Maria Nikolaeva\, violin; Charlotte Kenyon\, viola; Perris Heath\, cello; Lucas Jordan\, double bass
