Beethoven & Schumann at Royal College of Music

Immerse yourself in the tender lyricism and fiery passion of Schumann’s beloved Piano Concerto. Renowned pianist Aleksandar Serdar brings his exceptional artistry to this deeply personal work, weaving intricate melodies with the orchestra in a mesmerizing dialogue. 

Alongside this powerful work, witness the raw power and revolutionary spirit of Beethoven’s iconic Fifth Symphony. From its famous four-note opening to its triumphant finale, this monumental work will leave you breathless as it unfolds under the masterful baton of Polish conductor Lukacz Borowicz. 

Beethoven’s dramatic Coriolan overture sets the tone of the concert with its unabashed exuberance and forward-looking style.

Written by composers who were at the forefront of the newly minted Romanticism, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and Schumann’s Piano Concerto represent the height of achievement of the first half of the 19th century. This is Viennese music at it’s very best, performed by one of the world’s great chamber orchestras.
