A whistle-stop, interactive 1-hour show, journeying through 300 years of breathtaking music for piano and orchestra!
Most of us have heard the word: nearly every orchestral concert features one, nearly every instrument has one written for them and nearly every list of top 10 classical pieces includes one. But what actually is a concerto?
In this action-packed, entertaining and engaging concert for all ages, Tim Redmond and the West of England Youth Orchestra are joined by world-renowned pianist Alexandra Dariescu to answer this tantalising question. Expect fun and fireworks in equal measure as Tim and Alex take WEYO on a whistle-stop tour through three centuries of breathtaking virtuosity and prodigious piano playing.
CONCERTO! is a brand-new show being created for the Wiltshire Music Centre, London Symphony Orchestra and the Leeds International Piano Competition.
