SOT Classics - Mendelssohn’s Violin Masterpiece
Fri 8 Nov 2024
CONDUCTOR: Olari Elts
SOLOIST: Rosanne Philippens
‘Pathetique’ actually means ‘full of feeling’ and Tchaikovsky poured everything he had into one final overwhelming symphony. It’s full of raw feeling and great melodies. Rosanne Philippens, visiting our concerts for the first time, plays Mendelssohn’s ever popular Violin Concerto which will make a truly poignant contrast.
PROGRAMME:
Beethoven
Egmont Overture
Mendelssohn
Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky
Symphony No. 6 (Pathetique)
Victoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent
The Victoria Hall was built in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was revamped in the mid-nineties and has since then been at the heart of the Cultural Quarter, alongside its sister venue The Regent Theatre. It has established itself as one of the most popular venues on the touring circuit playing host to the likes of Paul Weller, Morrissey and Jimmy Carr.
