About this event

Michelle Cann performs Florence Price's virtuosic Piano Concerto blending Lisztian dazzle with African-American feeling. Christmas program features Gubaidulina's magical Fairytale Poem and Nutcracker favorites.

With Christmas fast approaching, three delightful reveries of make-believe, wishful thinking and magic led by the 'authoritative and masterful' (Bachtrack) Patrik Ringborg.

Sofia Gubaidulina's Fairytale Poem gives life to a piece of chalk whose dreams are finally realised in colourfully eventful music lit up by affecting melodies.

Blending technical brilliance with intoxicating warmth and energy, Michelle Cann is the soloist in Florence Price's virtuosic Piano Concerto in One Movement, which collides Lisztian dazzle, late-Romantic fervour and African-American feeling.

Tchaikovsky's seasonal favourite The Nutcracker boasts one glorious tune after another, including the 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy'.
