About This Event

Belfast's Ulster Orchestra and its dynamic music director Rafael Payare present the Proms premiere of Clara Schumann鈥檚 Piano Concerto, performed here by 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mariam Batsashvili.

Begun when the then Clara Wieck was just 13 years old, it鈥檚 a work whose mellow mood and lyrical melodies conceal no little technical intricacy and formal innovation.

Sunny good humour also runs through both Beethoven鈥檚 Symphony No. 1 鈥� famously described as a musical 鈥榗omedy of manners鈥� 鈥� and Shostakovich鈥檚 First Symphony, lively with satirical wit and mischief.

Approx. end time: 21:45
