Programme

Overview

Feel the raw power of Beethoven’s Fifth as Vasily Petrenko guides you from fate’s first four notes to an exultant finale. Discover the stirring final orchestral scene by Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova and marvel at Jan Lisiecki’s electrifying performance of Prokofiev’s First Piano Concerto. An unforgettable journey from darkness to light awaits.Join conductor Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) for an evening that charts a profound arc from tension to triumph. The concert opens with the final orchestral scene by Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova, whose delicate yet evocative textures reveal her compositional voice on the eve of marriage to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. That intimate introduction gives way to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, whose unforgettable four-note motif ignites a musical odyssey from shadowed uncertainty to radiant victory. The second half spotlights Jan Lisiecki in Prokofiev’s First Piano Concerto, a daring work born in the whirlwind of revolution, where every thunderous chord and lyrical flourish showcases his pristine technique and daring spirit. Priority booking for RPO members opens on Friday 24 April, with general tickets on sale from Tuesday 28 April—reserve your place for a night of symphonic exhilaration.
