Federico Colli is the name that every piano fan is talking about right now – and it’s no wonder. ‘Federico Colli illuminates each work’s uniqueness and his beautiful sound consistently beguiles the ear,’ wrote The Sunday Times, and this award-winning young Italian pianist simply has it all. We’re delighted to welcome him to Cadogan Hall in Grieg’s hugely-popular concerto: expect this evergreen classic to blossom more beautifully than ever.

Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra

Bold, provocative and brilliant, Federico Colli has commanded attention since winning the Gold Medal at the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2012 and has built a reputation as a ‘pianist likely to dominate the world stage in years to come’ (International Piano Magazine). For his debut at the Royal Concert Hall he brings Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto, whose imperious opening sets the tone for a dynamic, epically-scaled dialogue between soloist and orchestra. As expected, Beethoven’s gestures are grand and heroic but there’s also room for great tenderness in the slow movement, which so impressed conductor Leonard Bernstein that he adopted its initial theme for the song ‘Somewhere’ in West Side Story.

Charismatic Italian virtuoso Federico Colli will be playing all the right notes in the right order, as befits a recent winner of the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition.

The Sound of Innovation

Electric Works

‘I am the new Bacchus, pressing out glorious wine for the human spirit,’ declared Ludwig van Beethoven. True, he wasn’t known for his modesty – but until you’ve heard his incredible Seventh Symphony in full, heart-pounding flight, you’ve never known just how intoxicating music can be. This is music that demands total commitment, body and soul and we can expect the young British conductor Adam Hickox to raise the roof tonight.

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony

Music possesses an almost magical ability to tell stories. It can paint vivid images of far off lands, enchanted forests, fairy tale villages, the timeless battle between good and evil — all without a single spoken word. Step into the enchanted world of German legends, filled with tales of mysterious swan knights, magic bullets, and mischievous tricksters. Then, delve into the otherworldly Contact; inspired by the idea of interstellar communication, this jazzy, bluegrass-infused, and ethereal concerto for trio was collaboratively written with and for Time For Three.
