Linton Stephens brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making, including a live concert from the 麻豆社 Philharmonic and conductor Nicholas Carter from the Philharmonic Studio at Media City Salford. This is part of the orchestra series of live Wednesday concerts that will take us into Spring. The orchestra begin their programme with Haydn's final symphony, No. 104, his 鈥楲ondon Symphony鈥�, which first dazzled audiences in 1795. To follow, Schubert鈥檚 Symphony No. 8, his 鈥楿nfinished Symphony'. With only two movements, this piece takes the listener on an emotional journey that feels altogether complete.

Elsewhere in the programme, there is a continuation of the week-long focus on music performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Today, Wagner's Overture to Tannhauser is conducted by David Nieman. There is also chamber music composed by Ravel and Haydn, the Leonkoro Quartet perform Haydn's 鈥楧ream鈥� Quartet, and pianist Alim Beisembayev plays Ravel's 鈥極ndine鈥�. Plus, the artists in focus are renowned Dutch piano duo, Lucas and Arthur Jussen who perform music by Felix Mendelssohn.
