Since winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in 1980 at the age of 18 Nicholas Daniel has developed a long and distinguished career as one of the foremost exponents of the oboe. In this concert Nicholas gives a performance of acclaimed composer James MacMillan’s new Oboe Concerto written especially for Nicholas Daniel and Britten Sinfonia, conducted by the composer himself. The rest of the concert features Beethoven’s vigorous Symphony No. 2 and Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony, a powerful reaction to the 1945 bombing of Dresden.

FREE pre-concert talks will take place in the auditorium at 6.30pm.
