From its tempestuous opening bars, Brahms鈥檚 First Piano Concerto throws a gauntlet down to all-comers. It鈥檚 a monumental, powerhouse of a work, so we鈥檙e thrilled that the astonishing Alexander Melnikov joins us as tonight鈥檚 soloist. Our Nielsen symphony cycle continues, too, with the composer鈥檚 鈥楽imple Symphony鈥� which, despite the sunny outlook of its opening, has dark moments and unexpected twists on the horizon.
**In a change to the previously advertised programme, Joanna Ward's new work will now be performed at a future date.
