A favourite among opera audiences, Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan has also received much acclaim for her performances of works by Hungarian composer, György Ligeti. She has sung his Mysteries of the Macabre, a tour de force for soprano and orchestra across the world and in this concert performs it alongside Ligeti’s energy-fuelled Concert Romanesc. Two spirited Rossini overtures, some of Mozart’s most popular songs and Weber’s virtuosic Concertino for Horn make up the rest of this captivating programme.

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