Federico Colli with the Philharmonia Orchestra

Performance:
7.30PM Friday, 30th September 2016
Genre:

This hugely popular programme brings together the Festival’s Associate Orchestra, the Philharmonia and Frederico Colli, winner of The Leeds International Piano Competition 2012, at Eton College in the magnificent School Hall.

This concert opens with Tchaikovsky’s passionate and tragic overture followed by possibly the most well-known and revered piano concerto of all time, Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2. Elgar’s Enigma Variations pay heartfelt and humorous tribute “to my friends pictured within”. Identified by the initials titling each variation, Elgar captures touchingly his wife, his many musical friends (and their pets) as well as his close friend and publisher, August Jaeger, the ‘mighty hunter’ of the celebrated ‘Nimrod’ variation.
