Summary
Santtu-Matias Rouvali leads the Philharmonia Orchestra at De Montfort Hall, featuring pianist Seong-Jin Cho in Tchaikovsky’s first concerto alongside works by Borodin and Shostakovich.
Why it's fantastic
The thunderous opening chords of Tchaikovsky’s most famous concerto are instantly recognisable, even if you have never stepped foot in a concert hall before. You can settle in for a cinematic evening that shifts from these Romantic flourishes to the intense, dramatic soundscapes of Shostakovich’s historical symphony.
