Heroic. Quite the nickname for a piece of music. And totally justified in the case of Beethoven’s Symphony No.3. Bigger, longer and very different to anything that had come before. It was a musical game-changer that challenged not just its audience but the musicians playing it too. Prepare for a wild journey of emotional extremes.

Beethoven’s music inspired Robert Schumann’s unfinished Zwickau symphony, named after his home town. Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto is a bold statement, with a passionate, sweeping ending that’s the perfect way to end the first half of the concert.
