Margaret Faultless leader/director

Husband-and-wife piano duo Robert Levin and Ya-Fei Chuang join forces with the OAE to perform a youthful concerto by Mendelssohn - composed when he was just 14 years old, and a mature masterpiece by Schubert - the great Fantasia written in the last year of his life. Bookending the programme, the overture Beethoven composed for a play about an ancient Roman leader, and one of his most cheerful and lively symphonies.

Following the concert, a selection from the shortlist of the British Composer Awards, winners to be announced next week.
