Programme

Overview

Do we shape our destiny or are we at its mercy? Witness fate’s power in Beethoven’s electrifying Fifth Symphony, paired with Florence Price’s heartfelt Adoration and Mendelssohn’s sparkling Violin and Piano Concerto. Join us for an evening of symphonic drama and timeless beauty.Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony grapples with the elemental question of human will versus destiny, its iconic four-note motif emerging like a defiant heartbeat as the composer fought encroaching deafness over four relentless years. Beginning in ominous half-light, its themes coil with brooding intensity before erupting in a triumphant blaze that forever expanded the symphonic horizon. Framed by Florence Price’s Adoration—a luminous, heartfelt tone poem infused with melodic warmth—and Mendelssohn’s Violin and Piano Concerto, whose spirited dialogue between solo violin and piano sparkles with youthful brilliance, the evening unfolds as a journey from tension to transcendence. Featuring pianist Martin James Bartlett and violinist Sebastian Bohren, this program weaves three distinct voices into a single, unforgettable voyage of musical drama and grace.
