Hull Philharmonic Orchestra - The Malcolm Ruddiforth Concert

The Malcom Ruddiforth Concert

Soloist: Alessandro Taverna
Conductor: Andrew Penny MBE

Elgar: Sursum Corda
Rachmaninov: Piano Concert No. 2
Brahms: Symphony No. 3

Malcolm Ruddiforth was a long-time supporter of the Hull Philharmonic and our beautiful venue, and he left a generous bequest both to the orchestra and to the upkeep of the City Hall organ. To celebrate his generosity, we are bringing back two familiar and much-loved artists in a concert drawing on music close to Malcolm's heart. Our Musical director emeritus, Andrew Penny, returns to the stage with international piano super-star, Alessandro Taverna, who will be performing Rachmaninov’s dazzling Piano Concerto No 2. Andrew has also chosen Elgar's Sursum Corda to showcase the magnificent organ and will conduct Brahms' Symphony No 3 to bring our season to a towering conclusion.
