About This Event

In this afternoon’s live ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 3 broadcast with conductor Clemens Schuldt, we hear music from Beethoven, Haydn, Stravinsky and Mozart. Beethoven's dramatic and powerful Coriolan Overture is a dark and expressive work written for Heinrich Joseph von Collin's 1804 tragedy Coriolan – a musical portrait of a heroic and unsettled Roman leader. We also hear another dramatic work this afternoon - Mozart's Symphony No. 26 - a suspenseful and romantic symphony in three movements.

Providing a contrast in mood is Haydn's bright and colourful Trumpet Concerto. A melodic showcase of the instrument’s ability, this piece was written for Anton Weidinger – a good friend of Haydn – but today we welcome Simon Höfele as our soloist.

Today also includes Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite, an extraordinary and glittering early example of Neoclassism in music.

In this afternoon’s concert – please be aware that the use of smartphones will be encouraged to allow audience to experience an exciting development for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Philharmonic.
