Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake

Coleridge-Taylor – Ballade in A minor

Beethoven – Piano Concerto No1

Tchaikovsky – Swan Lake Suite

Thomas Søndergård, Conductor

Ethan Loch, Piano

Misty waters, dancing cygnets, a wicked sorcerer and a swan princess – who doesn’t love the story of Swan Lake? Tchaikovsky’s wildly romantic music is the finale of a concert that begins with a rediscovered masterpiece by one of Edwardian Britain’s favourite composers, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and stars the astonishing young Scottish pianist (and 2022 BBC Young Musician finalist) Ethan Loch in Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto. With Music Director Thomas Søndergård on the podium, it promises to be a concert full of good stories and even better tunes.
