BBC NOW 2018-19 Season Xian Zhang Conducts Beethoven by Beethoven, Von Weber, De (2018/2018), Regente Ryan Bancroft, Venue Cymru, Llandudno, Reino Unido

*We’re very sorry to announce that Xian Zhang is unable to conduct this concert as she is unwell. We are extremely grateful to Ryan Bancroft for stepping in at short notice. Following 2017’s breath-taking Beethoven programme at Venue Cymru, this visit sees the pairing of Beethoven’s fledgling first symphony with the iconic fifth, unmistakable from the outset. Alongside these is a gem of the woodwind repertoire, Weber’s Clarinet Concerto, performed by BBC NOW’s own Principal Clarinet, Robert Plane.
