A master of the keyboard, Garrick Ohlsson returns to Manchester to perform Brahms’s mighty Piano Concerto No. 1. It’s an evening in the company of some truly great Romantic composers with Chief Conductor John Storgårds on the podium.

Tonight is all about stories of the human spirit. Alban Gerhardt returns with Shostakovich’s second cello concert whilst ‘A Hero’s Life’ is the musical autobiography of Richard Strauss, under the baton of Alpesh Chauhan OBE.

Elgar loved cryptic codes and he hid one in his most famous work, ‘Enigma’ Variations. The music of Frank Martin, is brought to the concert platform by world renowned baritone Roderick Williams, plus the world premiere of Geoffrey Gordon’s Anima Mia.
