2019 "You would be hard pushed to find a more magical Christmas experience" ENGLISH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Friday 5 April 2019, 7.30pm Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony and Violin Concerto came to life on his desk at the same time, yet between them they reflect the full breadth of his creative genius. The searching spirituality of the monumental Violin Concerto is brought to life by the young virtuoso Chloë Hanslip, already recognised as one of the great soloists of her generation. CONDUCTOR: PHILIP MACKENZIE The Times Chloe Hanslip CONDUCTOR Kenneth Woods VIOLIN Chloe Hanslip BEETHOVEN                         Coriolan Overture, Op.62 MOZART SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BEETHOVEN    Violin Concerto in D, Op.61 BEETHOVEN       Symphony No.4 in B flat, Op.60 In the second half, the resurgent ESO bring virtuosity and verve to Beethoven’s rustic and humorous Fourth Symphony, a surprisingly bright and cheerful work, sandwiched as it is between his 3rd and 5th – two titans of 19th century symphonic writing.
