Hull Philharmonic Orchestra, Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 (Penny/Taverna)
10 May, 2025, 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
The Malcolm Ruddiforth Concert
Malcolm Ruddiforth was a long-time supporter of the Hull Philharmonic and our beautiful venue, and he left a generous bequest both to the orchestra and to the upkeep of the City Hall organ.
To celebrate his generosity, we are bringing back two familiar and much-loved artists in a concert drawing on music close to Malcolm’s heart. Our Musical director emeritus, Andrew Penny, returns to the stage with international piano super-star, Alessandro Taverna, who will be performing Rachmaninov’s dazzling ‘Piano Concerto No 2’. Andrew has also chosen Elgar’s ‘Sursum Corda’ to showcase the magnificent organ and will conduct Brahms’ ‘Symphony No 3’ to bring our season to a towering conclusion.
Soloist: Alessandro Taverna
Conductor: Andrew Penny MBE
Elgar: Sursum Corda

Strauss & Korngold: little known works by well-known composers in passionate performances from Francesca Dego & Alessandro Taverna at Conway Hall. My concert review:
A rare chance to hear Erich Wolfgang Korngold's early & shamefully neglected Violin Sonata on Sunday at London's Conway Hall.
