Guy Braunstein Violin Schumann Overture: Manfred Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Schumann Symphony No.2 The Orchestra offers a second chance to hear it perform in full force in February. Tchaikovsky composed his Violin Concerto in the aftermath of escaping a disastrous and ill-advised marriage after just nine weeks. The outer movements see sparks of excitement, whilst the Adagio is captivatingly lyrical and full of melancholy. Guy Braunstein explores this work beautifully with the Ulster Orchestra. “His playing revealed the soul of a poet… Braunstein’s performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto won many admirers; it eschewed outward glamour but got to the heart of the work.” (Birmingham Post) Schumann’s Second Symphony is awash with blazing colours and ferocious emotional intensity – a reflection of the fact that Schumann, too, was writing at a time of great personal turmoil. £17.50 / £15 / £5 (under 18s) Location Show Offers
