Since winning the 11th International Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 23, Matsuev has established an international reputation as a pianist in the great Russian tradition. This programme frames Tchaikovsky's lyrical Second Piano Concerto with two symphonic masterpieces by Prokofiev, the witty, Haydnesque 'Classical', and the ever-popular Fifth, Prokofiev's moving wartime tribute to 'the grandeur of the human spirit'.

Following the concert, '大象传媒 Singers at 90': in the week during which the 大象传媒's professional choir celebrates its 90th anniversary, British composers introduce recordings of their music performed by the 大象传媒 Singers.
