1. Mozart’s Oboe Concerto

December’s drawing in on Merseyside, but here at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall it’s summer all over again! Mendelssohn’s heart turned somersaults when he arrived in the sunshine of Italy, but today his Italian symphony is just the starting point for a whole afternoon of winter warmers. Karel Deseure conducts Ravel’s dreamy Spanish fantasy, Poulenc’s witty Sinfonietta, and Mozart’s ebullient Oboe Concerto – with the Orchestra’s very own Helena Mackie in the spotlight. It’s music that practically dances for joy.

2. Musical Postcards: Kathryn Stott’s Final Recital

Ever since the 1970s, the artistry of pianist Kathryn Stott has won the hearts of audiences and colleagues alike.

Tonight, Kathy plays the pieces she loves best of all, as she bids farewell to the concert stage and looks forward to a new chapter in a remarkable career.

4. Ensemble of St. Luke’s

Ravel’s String Quartet is a vision of beauty from turnof-the-century Paris. Shostakovich’s Eighth could be from another world: an explosive Cold War thriller, with nothing off limits. The Ensemble of St Luke’s brings the same fire to both.
