The Sheffield Philharmonic will be performing once again at Ecclesall Parish Church with an exciting programme. The concert will begin with Walton's Crown Imperial, a piece originally written for King Edward VIII's coronation but due to his abdication was actually performed for the first time at King George VI's coronation. This will be followed by Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.3, with the Benjamin Frith as the piano soloist. Benjamin Frith has played with the Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra on several occasions with each one being particularly extraordinary. Born in South Yorkshire, Benjamin studied the piano at a young age under Fanny Waterman and has since won several awards including the Mozart Memorial Prize. His performance always receives high praise and should certainly not be missed. The final piece for the evening will be Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony. It starts with a rather sombre theme, gradually transforming into a triumphant march in the final movement.
