Performance Details
An explosive and emotive evening to end the season sees the hugely talented and widely praised pianist Steven Osborne join the Orchestra of Opera North and Opera North’s Music Director, Richard Farnes, grand finale of Brahms and Shostakovich.
Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 in B is scored for piano solo and an orchestra and is a light and tranquil piece. Shostakovich’s Symphony No.10 in A is emotionally intense and reflects his struggle of working under a dictatorship but also the hope of a better world in the future.
