Give the symphony room
This is an evening to hear as a complete programme rather than a quick piano appearance.
The organiser estimates around two hours and twenty minutes including an interval. Leave the late-evening journey flexible instead of attaching an unreasonably tight connection.
Before booking
Use the orchestra’s listing for seats, fees and access arrangements.
An advertised starting price is not a live quote for every seat. This preview describes the announced programme; we have not attended the performance or checked out a ticket.
