RNCM conducting fellow, Jacobus de Jager, leads Manchester Camerata in a performance that travels from the Classical period to the present day, with orchestral works from Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, and featuring a UK premiere by Arthur Feder.

Tchaikovsky, though composing in the late 19th century, admired the elegance and clarity of the Classical style, particularly drawing inspiration from Mozart, whom he described as ‘a sunny genius’. During a period of personal turmoil, he turned to the serenity of 18th century music for emotional refuge. His Variations on a Rococo Theme exemplify this influence, showcasing an ornate yet refined style that reflects the Rococo aesthetic. RNCM musician Chloe Chen joins the orchestra as cello soloist.
