We return to one of the great concert halls in Europe to perform a programme of Mozart & Schubert with acclaimed pianist Melvyn Tan. Melvyn Tan established his international reputation in the 1980s with pioneering performances on fortepiano and continues to cast fresh light on music conceived for the piano’s early and modern forms. Tan possesses a profound understanding of his instrument’s history, its technical evolution and musical development. His performances of piano masterworks, whether on a late eighteenth-century fortepiano or today’s concert grand, penetrate the surface of interpretive traditions and received wisdom to reveal countless expressive nuances and rarely heard tonal contrasts.

Our progamme includes Schubert’s tuneful and joyful fifth symphony along with three works by Mozart for Piano and Orchestra.
