Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO)

Conductor Andrew Greenwood
Piano Tom Poster

Rossini The Barber of Seville Overture
Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21
Dvorák Symphony No. 9 'From the New World'

Popular pianist Tom Poster, 'a musician of real subtlety and searching instincts' (The Big Issue), joins the Orchestra for a performance of Mozart's virtuosic Piano Concerto No.21. One of Mozart's sunniest compositions, the Concerto combines a comic-opera jollity with darker shadows to create exquisite melodies. Rossini's stunning Barber of Seville Overture is the perfect opener, bringing together elements of comedy and excitement - a quintessential style of Rossini.

Conducted by Andrew Greenwood, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will close the concert with Dvorák's seminal work, Symphony No.9 'From the New World'.
