Royal Northern Sinfonia at Ripon International Festival
Who’s on stage
Royal Northern Sinfonia is joined on stage at Ripon International Festival by formidable conductor Janusz Piotrowicz and violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen.
The adventurous violinist joins us following Jennifer Pike’s withdrawal from the concert as she recovers from an injury.
What’s happening in the music
Tchaikovksy wore his heart on his sleeve in his music, and never more so than in his Fifth Symphony. It’s one of his most emotionally extreme – a glimpse into his anguish, pain and despair that verges on the hysterical at times. If any music might cause you to shed a tear, it might be this. If this isn’t enough for one evening, there’s a chance to hear Beethoven’s mighty Violin Concerto.
