RPO: Brahms Violin Concerto

An orchestral concert by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, built around Brahms's Violin Concerto, performed at Cadogan Hall in London. The programme is classical in genre.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the leading orchestras based in London, and this evening centres on Johannes Brahms's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, a large-scale work for solo violin and orchestra that Brahms completed in 1878. It remains one of the central pieces of the violin concerto repertoire and is valued for the close dialogue between soloist and orchestra throughout its three movements.

The concert is given at Cadogan Hall, a concert venue at 5 Sloane Terrace in Chelsea, SW1X 9DQ. It suits listeners who want a traditional symphonic evening of the Austro-German Romantic repertoire, with the orchestra's full line-up on stage for the concerto and the performance given in the hall's concert setting.

The title identifies the programme as the Brahms concerto, so the evening will appeal to anyone interested in the Romantic violin concerto and in hearing a major orchestra perform one of its most demanding works in London.
