    Overview

    'You can have no idea,’ wrote Brahms in 1872, ‘what it’s like to hear such a giant always marching along behind you!’; but as the collaborative ensemble directed by Hugo Ticciati will demonstrate, Beethoven’s daunting inheritance could also be positive – certainly the case with Brahms’ mighty Op. 1 and his bracing Piano Quintet.

    Beethoven Festival Weekend
    Saturday’s concerts will be introduced by Beethoven specialist and Classic FM presenter John Suchet.

    Our Beethoven Celebration has been made possible thanks to a lead gift from André and Rosalie Hoffmann, the Foyle Foundation, and additional support from the Beethoven Circle
