The BBC Philharmonic return to Victoria Hall with conductor Ben Gernon for this performance featuring Beethoven’s famous Symphony No. 5 and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G with soloist Juan Pérez Floristán.

The concert begins with the sparkling music of Offenbach’s spoof on the Greek myth of Helen of Troy La Belle Hélène. Telling the story of the rivalry between Paris and Hèléne’s husband Menelaus for her favour.

Complimenting this will be Norwegian composer Svendsen’s Carnival in Paris - the second of three carnival pieces in Svendsen’s oeuvre, filled with Romanticism, this piece has become one of Svendsen’s most frequently played works.

The BBC Philharmonic will be joined by pianist Juan Pérez Floristàn to perform Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major. The light-hearted piece fulfils Ravel’s aim to write something fanciful and entertaining.

Ending the concert is the instantly recognisable four notes of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, a heroic journey from darkness to light, shifting in tone throughout before ending in triumph.
