The English Chamber Orchestra performs a programme of timeless elegance and expressive power under the direction of Principal Guest Conductor Roberto Forés Veses with pianist Lusine Khachatryan.

The concert opens with the Overture in D major by Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga, often known as the ‘Spanish Mozart’ for his exceptional natural talent. Written shortly before his death at just 19, the Overture sparkles with poise, energy and confidence.

At the heart of the programme is Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, one of the most beloved works in the concerto repertoire. Celebrated for its radiant lyricism, the Concerto’s slow movement is especially treasured for its serene and floating beauty. Lusine Khachatryan brings warmth, sensitivity and expressive depth to this much-loved masterpiece.

The programme concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, a joyful and energetic work, rich in rhythmic vitality, wit and invention, bringing the concert to an exhilarating close and demonstrating the Orchestra’s exceptional refinement and energy.
