Weber Overture, Der Freischütz
Mozart Clarinet Concerto
Beethoven Symphony No. 5

Michael Seal Conductor
Raphaël Sévère Clarinet

Four notes you’ll never forget. Music doesn’t get any more famous – or more thrilling – than Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, and from stormy opening to triumphant finish, it’s one of those pieces that everyone needs to hear live at least once. It’s the roof-raising climax to a concert that begins with Weber’s gothic thriller of an overture, before sinking deep into the arms of Mozart’s glorious Clarinet Concerto. Its rapturous slow movement might be the most beautiful ever written – but shadows lie behind Mozart’s sublime melodies. Conductor Michael Seal and clarinettist Raphaël Sévère will bring out both the darkness and the joy.
