RNCM Symphony Orchestra: Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet at Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), Manchester 6 March 2025 Tickets from £11.00 — Book now

Part of the RNCM‘s Dance:Music initiative, the RNCM Symphony Orchestra will perform music from Prokofiev’s ballet, Romeo and Juliet, in which the iconic Montagues and Capulets, with its bold orchestral swagger, contrasts sharply with the delicate playfulness of Juliet as a Young Girl.

The same concert features Beethoven’s ‘Emperor’ Piano Concerto, performed by the RNCM’s Concerto Competition winner, Siya Dai. Beethoven composed the work in 1809 as Vienna endured Napoleon’s siege, seeking refuge in his brother’s cellar while the city fell under bombardment. Despite the chaos, he produced a concerto of remarkable innovation, written not for himself but for a new generation of virtuosos like his student Carl Czerny.

Finally we’ll hear a brand new work by student composer Patrick Gorry.
