About This Event

We're thrilled to be back on the road again in the spring, and with much-loved Welsh conductor Owain Arwel Hughes to celebrate his 80th birthday.

In the first half, its classical favourites from Rossini, Elgar, Faure and Handel. In the second half its Brahms鈥檚 Second Symphony. Brahms's First Symphony took nearly 20 years to complete. In staggering contrast, his second was written in one summer holiday in Portschach - an alpine area by the Wothersee that also inspired Mahler and Berg.
