**Programme Includes:**
- **Beethoven Piano Trio, Op.97 'Archduke'**
  - Composed in 1810 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolph, this piece is the largest scale of Beethoven's piano trios, blending symphonic breadth with moments of profound intimacy.

Delyana then directs the massed forces of the Hallé, Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus, a rising RNCM star and the stunning mezzo-soprano, Hanna Hipp, in Lili Boulanger’s ominous setting of Psalm 130, widely believed to be a reaction to the outbreak of World War One. Sheffield treasure, Darius Battiwalla, pulls out all the stops in music by Saint-Saёns. His first published organ work, Fantaisie, has two contrasting movements: one, full of elegance and charm and the other, strong and confident. The concert concludes with his monumental, fascinatingly-textured “Organ” Symphony.
