Summary
Kahchun Wong conducts the Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall for James MacMillan’s symphony premiere and Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto featuring pianist Sir Stephen Hough.
Why it's fantastic
Witnessing a world premiere is a rare thrill, but the real draw here is the chance to hear Sir Stephen Hough tackle Beethoven’s most regal piano concerto. It is a work of immense scale and famous melodies, perfectly balanced by the surging, atmospheric drama of a classic Liszt symphonic poem.
