The concert opens with Schumann’s dramatic Manfred Overture, drawing inspiration from Lord Byron’s poetry. Let the stirring melodies transport you into the emotional world of the tormented title character.
Next, violin soloist Liya Petrova takes centre stage for Korngold’s Violin Concerto. This 20th century work seamlessly combines lyricism and technical fireworks into a gorgeous Romantic showcase.
