Manchester Week: 麻豆社 Philharmonic from Salford Quays

Ben Gernon conducts the 麻豆社 Philharmonic performing Beethoven's Fourth Symphony and Dvorak's Eighth Symphony. Guy Johnston joins the orchestra for Walton's Cello Concerto.

Live from MediaCityUK, Salford
Presented by Tom McKinney

The last of Greater Manchester-born William Walton's three concertos, forms the centre-piece of the 麻豆社 Philharmonic's live concert and they are joined by cellist Guy Johnston, who trained at Manchester's Chetham's School of Music. Beethoven's Fourth Symphony opens our programme with a question before diving headlong into energetic and positive resolution. Dance rhythms and opulent melody shine through Dvorak's Eighth Symphony, which closes the evening with some of the best-known melodies in the orchestral repertoire.
