Cello evening by SOT Classics with cellist Daniel Müller-Schott and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Eun Sun Kim.
The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra are at Victoria Hall on Friday 12 February, with cellist Daniel Müller-Schott taking the solo spot. The night is part of the SOT Classics series, and the programme is called Triumphant Cello.
It's a cello evening, which sets it apart from the separate piano and violin concerto nights the series usually runs. The first half belongs to the cello: Müller-Schott plays Haydn's C major Cello Concerto, a bright, singing piece that lets the soloist hold the floor. After the interval, the focus shifts to the full orchestra, with two Beethoven works. First comes the Egmont Overture, then the Fifth Symphony — the one everyone knows, the one that starts with those four famous notes. Between the concerto and the symphony, the night moves from a single instrument leading the way to the whole orchestra working together.

Conducting is Eun Sun Kim, who'll be leading the BBC Philharmonic through the whole thing. The concert runs for 2 hours 35 minutes, so it's a proper evening's worth of music rather than a quick stop-in. The venue is Victoria Hall on Bagnall Street, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 3AD, and the date is Friday 12 February 2027.
