The Harrogate Symphony Orchestra's winter concert with Verdi, Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 3 (soloist William Green) and Brahms' Symphony No. 4.
Harrogate Symphony Orchestra are back at the Royal Hall on Saturday 14 November, their winter concert of the year. It's the one that usually draws the biggest crowd, bringing together the regulars and the first-timers in one room.
The programme runs through three very different moods. It opens with Verdi's Overture to La Forza del Destino, a high-drama piece that sets the pace. Then comes Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 3, with William Green on piano, and the night closes with Brahms' Symphony No. 4 in E Minor. Between the Italian opera, the Hungarian concerto, and the German symphony, there's plenty of ground to cover in one sitting.
For those who want a feel for the music before the night, the orchestra records its performances and puts excerpts on its 'Listen' page. Alongside those, they've linked to recordings of the same works conducted by Claudio Abbado, Sir Mark Elder and Leonard Bernstein, so you can hear how some of the biggest names in conducting have handled them.
