TCHAIKOVSKY Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture
SHOSTAKOVICH Piano Concerto No. 2

SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 5

120 years since his birth, the Bardi celebrate Shostakovich with two of his most popular works. His Second Piano Concerto is a favourite amongst audiences with its beautiful slow movement and reached number six in the 2025 Classic FM Hall of Fame. The concerto is performed by award-winning Latvian pianist, Antonina Suhanova. His equally popular Fifth Symphony concludes the concert with its triumphant finale. Fellow Russian Tchaikovsky wrote perhaps one of the most famous melodies of them all as the central love theme in his Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, opening this concert.

The concert is conducted by Philip Ellis who has led the country's top orchestras over his illustrious career, particularly the Birmingham Royal Ballet for 36 years.
