European Classics: Emperor

Beethoven’s vast and heroic fifth piano concerto probably gained the epithet Emperor from its English publisher – this concerto has no association with any emperor! Yes it stands proud as one of the most admired works for piano and orchestra in the repertoire.

We are delighted to welcome back the talented pianist George Harliono to perform this magnificent concerto with the Firebird Orchestra.

Programme to include:

Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 5 in E flat, Op. 72_ The Emperor_ Ralph Vaughan Williams Symphony no. 5 in D

Conductor George Jackson Piano George Harliono
