Creativity makes us human. When Prometheus brought his clay statues to life it was the ancient power of harmony that turned them into thinking, feeling creatures. That might be a myth, but who hasn’t felt the civilising power of music?

With Beethoven’s Prometheus overture, the lyrical heart of Schumann’s concerto, and the impassioned Sixth Symphony of Tchaikovsky, this is a concert of deep sentiment and heightened feelings – music to take you beyond the everyday.
