Weber Symphony No.2

Roxanna Panufnik Double Concerto for Oboe and Cor Anglais (commissioned by RLPS)

Haydn Symphony No.104, ‘London’

Domingo Hindoyan conductor

Helena Mackie oboe

Drake Gritton cor anglais

British audiences loved Haydn – and he loved them back. On visits to London, Haydn caused quite a sensation, and his last ever symphony – his 104th – was a heartfelt farewell to the city. And some say his London Symphony might just be his very best, packed with melody, drama and a signature brand of musical comedy. Chief Conductor Domingo Hindoyan sets the scene tonight with a captivating work by Weber and a stunning new showcase, specially commissioned by Liverpool Philharmonic for two of the Orchestra’s very own stars.
