From Beethoven, With Love by the Richmondshire Orchestra

Sunday 14th February, 3pm

2027 marks 200 years since the death of the mighty Ludwig van Beethoven. So, if music is indeed the food of love, then no better way to spend Valentine’s afternoon, than experiencing music written with passion from the heart as well as the mind!

We present Beethoven’s overture to his only full-length ballet ‘The Creatures of Prometheus’ and his mighty and triumphant 3rd Symphony ‘Eroica’ - a work ever-popular with orchestras and audiences alike.

In this classic ‘Overture, Concerto, Symphony’ programme we have the great pleasure in performing the rarely heard Trumpet Concerto by Johann Hummel, a student of both Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn.  Furthermore, Hummel worked closely with and was a friend of Beethoven.  Hummel, not only performed in several of the latter’s larger works, but also at his memorial concert.  We are delighted to be joined by Julie Ryan as soloist.  Julie is a professional player and teacher, often working with Malta Opera and the major London orchestras, and brass ensembles working in educational settings.
