SUMMARY:Mahler\, Farrenc\, and Bottesini
DESCRIPTION:From the first dramatic notes of Louise Farrenc’s sparkling Overture No. 2\, this concert celebrates orchestral colour\, virtuosity and emotional power on a grand scale. \nOne of the most significant French women composers of the 19th century\, Farrenc combines classical elegance with the energy and drama of early Romanticism in an overture that deserves to be heard far more often.  Then comes a concert rarity; while violin and piano concertos are familiar favourites\, opportunities to hear a double bass concerto live are few and far between.  Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra is delighted to welcome rising star\, Nathan Knight as soloist in Giovanni Bottesini’s Double Bass Concerto No. 2 – a dazzling showpiece by the legendary “Paganini of the Double Bass” – the concerto combines technical brilliance with lyrical\, operatic beauty. \nThe second half is devoted to Mahler’s monumental Fifth Symphony.  From its famous opening trumpet fanfare and funeral march to the radiant final pages\, the work charts an extraordinary emotional journey.  At its heart lies the much-loved Adagietto\, one of the most beautiful movements in the orchestral repertoire\, before the symphony concludes in a blaze of energy and triumph.  More than a century after its premiere\, Mahler’s Fifth remains one of the most exhilarating and rewarding achievements in symphonic music.

SUMMARY:Brigantes Bach to Britten
DESCRIPTION:BRITTEN Sinfonietta Op. 1\nBACH Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D\nBACH Triple Concerto BWV1044\nSTRAVINSKY Dumbarton Oaks Concerto\nAlice Power (Piano)\, Laura Jellicoe (Flute)\, David Milsom (Violin) \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have 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. \nImagine composers in the first decades of the 1900s revisiting the music of JS Bach\, what might they have written? Well\, Stravinsky’s Dumbarton Oaks Concerto is\, in all but name\, another Brandenburg Concerto\, but with a distinctly modern voice. Each piece in this programme\, the Britten Sinfonietta\, the Stravinsky\, and two pieces by Bach\, exploit small forces and make soloists of the orchestral musicians.

SUMMARY:Beethoven\, Fauré\, Mayer and Rutter
DESCRIPTION:Our second concert of the season pairs stirring drama with radiant lyricism. Emilie Mayer’s Overture No 2  in D opens with bold symphonic sweep\, while Fauré’s serene Cantique de Jean Racine and works by Rutter offer moments of luminous calm. The evening culminates in Beethoven’s groundbreaking Eroica symphony – a work of heroic scale and emotional depth that redefined the possibilities of the symphony. A powerful programme charting music’s journey from elegance to revolution. We welcome again Hohn Lyon as our conductor.

SUMMARY:Game Music in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Experience the epic sound worlds of gaming in concert\, performed by Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra in collaboration with Sheffield Chorale\, as part of Classical Sheffield’s Classical Weekend at the Octagon Centre. \nFrom sweeping orchestral scores to instantly recognisable themes\, this programme celebrates the artistry\, emotion and storytelling power of video game music across generations of players. \nThe first half journeys through some of the most celebrated contemporary game soundtracks\, including music from God of War Ragnarök\, Ratchet & Clank\, Horizon: Call of the Mountain\, Starfield\, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Star Citizen. These works showcase the scale and cinematic ambition of modern game scoring\, where full symphonic writing meets immersive interactive storytelling. \nThe second half pays tribute to iconic themes from gaming history. From the nostalgia of Super Mario Bros.\, Tetris and Dragon Quest XI\, to the emotional depth of Minecraft\, Halo\, Medal of Honor and Civilization IV’s Baba Yetu\, the programme traces the evolution of video game music into one of the most dynamic and widely loved genres of the 21st century. Highlights include powerful orchestral arrangements such as Adagio for Strings from Homeworld and the symphonic finale from Asura’s Wrath. \nBringing together orchestra\, chorus and screen-led storytelling\, this is a landmark celebration of gaming music on the concert stage.

SUMMARY:Brigantes War & Renewal
DESCRIPTION:PÄRT Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten\nBRITTEN Double Concerto for Violin and Viola\nVAUGHAN WILLIAMS Prelude to The 49th Parallel\nSHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 9 \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have 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. \nArvo Pärt’s haunting tribute to Benjamin Britten takes us to 1977 and opens a programme shaped by reflection and remembrance. Britten\, Shostakovich and Vaughan Williams offer very different responses to conflict – sometimes questioning\, sometimes hopeful – showing how composers use music to process the world around them. \nAgata Daraškaitė (violin) and Elitsa Bogdanova (viola)

SUMMARY:Northern Lights
DESCRIPTION:Journey north with a programme inspired by the landscapes\, folklore and elemental power of Scandinavia. \nEdvard Grieg’s much-loved music from Peer Gynt opens the concert\, transporting audiences from the serenity of Morning Mood to the thrilling drama of In the Hall of the Mountain King.  These enduring favourites capture the imagination and atmosphere of Norway’s mountains\, forests and legends. \nThe voyage continues with Bränningar (“Breaking Waves”) by the Swedish composer Helena Munktell.  A vivid and evocative orchestral work\, it paints a striking picture of the sea in motion\, showcasing a composer whose music is only now beginning to receive the wider recognition it deserves. \nThe concert culminates in Sibelius’s majestic Fifth Symphony\, one of the crowning achievements of the symphonic repertoire.  Inspired by the Finnish landscape and the sight of sixteen swans in flight\, the symphony unfolds from mysterious beginnings to one of the most uplifting and unforgettable finales ever written.

SUMMARY:Brigantes Missing Pieces
DESCRIPTION:SCHUBERT Symphony No. 8\nMOZART Requiem \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have 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. \nOur journey ends with a year that stays in the memory of musicians as the year of Mozart’s death – 1791. His unfinished Requiem is played alongside another iconic\, unfinished work\, the 8th Symphony of Franz Schubert. Completed by later hands\, both pieces remain powerful\, moving and deeply human\, reminding us that great music can outlive its moment and continue speaking across generations. \nThe Brigantes Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Quentin Clare with Sarah Helsby Hughes (soprano)\, Nicola Wemyss (mezzo-soprano)\, David Watkin-Holmes (tenor) & Matthew Baker (baritone).
