Romantic Horizons with Orchestra of the Swan

Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus Overture opens the concert in a side-by-side performance.
Bringing together professional players from Orchestra of the Swan and talented young musicians from the Warwick Schools Foundation.We welcome the return of pianist Viv McLean to Warwick Hall, for Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2, a work of lyricism, elegance and youthful confidence, written when the composer was just
twenty years old.The programme concludes with Sibelius’s 5th Symphony, famously inspired by the Finnish landscape and the sight of swans soaring overhead.Award-winning pianist Viv McLean has performed with leading orchestras at major venues including Wigmore Hall and at festivals such as Cheltenham Music Festival, with appearances across Europe, Japan, Australia and the USA.Conductor Bruce O’NeilStrauss Die Fledermaus Overture (side-by-side)
