Stockport Symphony Orchestra - Mendelssohn violin concerto

• Events Home

SCHUBERT - Unfinished Symphony
MENDELSSOHN - Violin Concerto
BRAHMS - Symphony No. 4

Conductor Steve Threlfall
Soloist - Callum Smart

Callum Smart made a long-overdue debut with the SSO last season in a memorable performance of Elgar’s violin concerto. He returns this evening with another from the list of the world’s favourite music. If we thought Callum’s appearance was overdue, it’s 15 years since the orchestra recorded this work (how time flies!) and, unbelievably, that is also when we last performed it.

Brahms 4 proved an instant hit at its premiere and has remained a favourite of concert-goers and players ever since yet Brahms himself once doubted was good enough for an orchestra. And was it similar self-doubt that caused Schubert to leave what we now call his eighth symphony unfinished and abandoned until its discovery nearly 40 years later?
