Event
Bach & Beethoven

A programme of ice and fire, joy and high spirits.
This concert of captivating orchestral works is a full sensory experience, led by conductor François Leleux. In the first half Beethoven depicts the theft of fire from the Gods, while Lindberg’s crystalline Violin Concerto cools everything down. Soloist Lisa Batiashvili brings out the icy precision of this sparkling work. After the interval is a lyrical, gentle masterpiece by Bach, where Batiashvili is joined by oboist François Leleux for the solo duties. Finally, you will be sent home with a spring in your step after Beethoven’s most good-natured Symphony.
