´óÏó´«Ã½

A real treat for concert-attenders in Hanley this evening, as the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Philharmonic previews the opening concert of its Bridgewater Hall 2014/15 Season at the Victoria Hall.

‘Oh you millions, I embrace you – here’s a kiss for all the world!’ Every performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is a special event: from dark opening to the final blazing 'Ode to Joy', it’s one of the greatest emotional journeys in all music.

The programme begins with the headlong energy and rapier wit of Beethoven’s brilliant Fourth Symphony.

NOTICE: Change of soloist (Wed 24 Sep)

Unfortunately, due to ill health, Rebecca Evans (Soprano) will not be performing at this concert. Raquel Lojendio will sing in Rebecca’s place.
