Sibelius Rakastava Elgar Cello Concerto Shostakovich Two Pieces for String Octet Shostakovich Chamber Symphony Alexey Stadler cello Vladimir Ashkenazy conductor There’s an abundance of passion and intensity in Vladimir Ashkenazy’s programme. At its heart lies Elgar’s searing Cello Concerto: written in the aftermath of the First World War, it’s a potent elegy for a lost age. Making his UK concerto debut is the astoundingly gifted Russian cellist Alexey Stadler. Like Shostakovich, Vladimir Ashkenazy experienced at first hand the life of an artist in the Soviet Union. Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony is an orchestration of his tragic Eighth Quartet, written at white heat and dedicated to ‘the victims of fascism and war’. Sibelius’ Rakastava (The Lover) is a real rarity but no less compelling for all that, abounding in brooding atmosphere. TICKETS: £35, £25, £17.50, £10 ENCORE: 10% off

It’s The Manfreds sees original Manfred Mann members Paul Jones, Mike Hugg and Tom McGuinness together with Rob Townsend, Marcus Cliffe and Simon Currie reunite with very special guest and former member Mike d’Abo. The Manfreds boast some of the finest quality talent ever assembled on one stage. Since Manfred Mann formed in 1962, they have firmly secured their place in the history books of British popular and R&B music. After the successful reunion in 1991, The Manfreds have toured extensively, received standing ovations nationwide and recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. Now they are back to inject all of the enthusiasm back into their timeless anthems including Do Wah Diddy Diddy, 5-4-3-2-1, Mighty Quinn, Pretty Flamingo and many more!

Glinka Ruslan and Lyudmila Overture Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 Alessio Bax piano Alexander Shelley conductor
Encompassing the hallmark romanticism of the 19th century and the political angst of the Soviet Union, this all-Russian programme features some of the most distinctive works in the classical repertoire. The ebullience of the popular Overture to Glinka’s five-act Ruslan and Lyudmila is contrasted with Rachmaninov’s lavish Piano Concerto No. 2, performed by Italian pianist Alessio Bax. Shostakovich’s imposing Symphony No. 5 was completed just a few years before the outbreak of World War Two, at a time when Soviet composers were pressured to conform to requisites set by the authorities; the blend of satire and submission has intrigued audiences ever since its conception, while the triumphant Finale continues to astound to this day.

Jörg Widmann clarinet/conductor One of the world’s great musical multi-taskers, the charismatic Jörg Widmann is renowned as a composer, clarinet soloist and conductor. He takes on all three roles in this concert, which features music by another multi-talented musician, Mozart. We open with Widmann conducting the London premiere of his Ikarische Klage (Icarus’ Lament) the ultimate cautionary tale of ambition outstripping ability. Widmann then turns soloist in Mozart’s sublime Clarinet Concerto, and ends the evening conducting the LCO in Mozart’s ebulliently lifeaffirming final symphony, the Jupiter.

Having performed 500 major shows to over half a million fans around the world since they formed over a decade ago, Rumours of Fleetwood Mac returns to the UK to present a spectacular new stage production celebrating the music of the legendary rock supergroup Fleetwood Mac.
Fung Lam Quintessence Beethoven Violin Concerto Prokofiev Symphony No. 5 Jaap van Zweden conductor Ning Feng violin We are delighted to see the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra make its debut at Cadogan Hall. First established in 1895, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra is a vital part of Hong Kong’s cultural life and regularly performs with an enviable roster of international conductors and soloists. Tonight, the orchestra is led by Music Director Jaap van Zweden.
Their new show showcases and celebrates in meticulous note-for-note detail, all the classic hits from one of the most outstanding and enduring catalogues in the history of recorded music, and a legacy of blues, rock & pop classics that made Fleetwood Mac the icons of the music industry they are today.
Beethoven’s much-loved and only Violin Concerto is performed by the award-winning violinist Ning Feng – the first student at London’s Royal Academy of Music to be awarded 100% for his final recital.
Replicating perfectly the power and subtlety of Fleetwood Mac at their brilliant best, let timeless classics such as Black Magic Woman, Albatross, Go Your Own Way, Dreams, Gypsy, Say You Love Me, Sara, Oh Diane, Little Lies, Everywhere and many more, take you on a nostalgic evening of breathtakingly outstanding musicianship; and all performed in the context where the songs work best – a live stage.
