The Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Alpesh Chauhan with cellist Johannes Moser, plays Beethoven's Coriolan Overture, Dvořák's Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4.
The Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra are coming to the Perth Concert Hall on Wednesday 21 April 2027, with the concert starting at 19:00. It's one of Germany's most distinguished orchestras, and they're being led by the British conductor Alpesh Chauhan. Joining them is the German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser, who's described as a virtuoso with an irresistible spirit of adventure.
The programme brings together three big names. It opens with Beethoven's Coriolan Overture, a gripping musical portrait of the ill-fated Roman general Coriolanus. Then comes Dvořák's Cello Concerto, with Moser taking the lead; it's a passionate piece, its emotive themes of love and loss unfolding across an expansive symphonic soundscape. The night closes with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No 4, a fiery work born out of the wreckage of his doomed marriage, announced by an arresting fanfare that signals the malign forces of fate.
The concert is in the Gannochy Trust Auditorium, the main hall of the Perth Concert Hall on Mill Street, which forms part of Horsecross Arts alongside Perth Theatre. The building was designed by BDP and opened in 2005, and the auditorium seats up to 1,200, or 1,600 standing.
