Brahms Scherzo in C minor from the FAE Sonata Brahms Violin Sonata No 3 in D minor, Op. 108 Mendelssohn Octet in E flat, Op. 20
Celebrated as one of the most acclaimed violinists of all time, Maxim Vengerov’s richly burnished tone and giltedged virtuosity will be on ample display in this very special performance in Cheltenham Town Hall. He is joined by The Soloists of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra in Mendelssohn’s ever-popular String Octet.
The Town Hall Festival Proms come to a close with an all-Haydn concert from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and one of the world’s most revered interpreters of Viennese classical repertoire, András Schiff. As one of the most celebrated ‘period instrument’ orchestras in the world, the OAE’s blend of gutsy playing and joyful authentic realisations of great works bring classical music to life in a new way. Together, Schiff and the OAE will celebrate all the majesty, startling originality and wit of the great composer Joseph Haydn.
