Spring Concert: Beethoven and Vaughan Williams

Butterworth - A Shropshire Lad
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.5 Soloist: Ariel Lanyi
Vaughan Williams - Symphony No.3 (A Pastoral Symhony)
Reading Symphony Orchestra will perform their Spring Concert under the musical direction of Cathal Garvey. The programme opens with Butterworth’s A Shropshire Lad, a poignant orchestral rhapsody evoking the English countryside. Acclaimed pianist Ariel Lanyi will then take centre stage for Beethoven’s majestic Piano Concerto No.5, often known as the "Emperor" Concerto. The evening concludes with Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No.3 (A Pastoral Symphony), a profoundly expressive work reflecting on the landscapes and memories of wartime Britain.
