By the time he wrote his Fourth Symphony, Tchaikovsky was obsessed by the idea of fate. From the powerful opening fanfare, right through to the majestic ending, it鈥檚 as dramatic as you鈥檇 expect from the master of Russian symphonies.
By contrast, Shostakovich鈥檚 Festive Overture is almost carefree, brimming with unbridled joy. Also featured are two of the most popular of trumpet concertos, by Haydn and Arutiunian.

***Unfortunately, Tine Thing Helseth will no longer be performing in this concert as previously advertised, due to illness and advice from her Doctor.
Tine is very sad not to be able to perform in Wales and hopes very much to return soon.
We鈥檙e pleased that 91热爆 NOW鈥檚 Principal Trumpet Philippe Schartz will perform instead. The programme remains unchanged.
