Future concerts you're excited to have tickets for.....

Brahms Symphony no.4 - Royal College of Music, Kensington, London

In about 45 minutes!

That's just a whisker under how long Lenny took with it although many other performances are nearer to 40.

Enjoy, though! Tremendous piece!

[Richard Barrett]

Loud it was, but fast and bulbous, too!

Also tapered, perhaps. Rather unlike what I'll be hearing tonight, namely Andreas Scholl and Edin Karamazov in a mostly-Dowland programme.

I won't be shedding a tin teardrop for you then.
Hope the Brahms was /is good.

Sibelius at the RFH next up for me in a couple of weeks.

In Serbia, right?

Martyn Brabbins conducted. Egmont then Brahms 4. Very enjoyable concert. Heart-warming to see and hear so many very talented and very young orchestra musicians.

I didn’t know that the RCM did so many concerts. Uncle Bernie is there in November doing a Ravel programme - £10 per ticket, still some left.

Alas I'm away - likewise for this excellent-looking Rubbra study day http://www.rcm.ac.uk/included/rubbradayprogramme.pdf - free! including lunchtime recital.... ticketed, but all free!!

How brilliant is that as a civilised resource?!

Thanks for the reminder that I need to study their events calendar regularly (ditto R.A.M.)

Thanks for this, the Rubbra study day looks great and I think Sunday Nov 6 is ok for me. Will call the box office and get a ticket.

A careful survey of these things is essential

Should be a good one. I may bump into you there.if I do, hopefully I won't spill your pint.....

Interested to hear the soloist. Reviews of her performances of this work elsewhere seem very positive.


That Rubbra study day looks great, but I doubt I'll make it, sadly.

[Lordgeous]

The John Wilson Orchestra in Bristol next month!

[Stanfordian]

This Saturday I have tickets for the Bridgewater Hall with BBC Philharmonic under John Storgards for the Maxwell Davies trumpet concerto (soloist Håkan Hardenberger) and Shostkovich Sym No. 10.

I’ve booked for that Rubbra masterclass in November. They throw a free lunch in, too!

On the theme of 'there is no such thing as a free lunch', there was a booking fee of £1.95, despite it being a free event. I think that all things considered, it would be churlish in the extreme to complain. So I shan’t complain about being charged £1.95 to receive an email ticket.
