SUMMARY:Oxford Beethoven Festival: Symphony & Concerto Cycle V
DESCRIPTION:BEETHOVEN\nSymphony No. 8 in F major\, Op. 93\nPiano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major\, Op. 19\nSymphony No. 6 in F major\, Op. 68\, ‘Pastoral’ \nMarios Papadopoulos piano/conductor \nBeethoven beyond the stereotypes. The composer loved to perform the second of his piano concertos\, not to position himself as the conquering hero but to revel in the colour\, imagination and reactivity of pure music and all its possibilities. Here\, with Marios Papadopoulos directing from the piano\, that work forms the centerpiece in a concert whose two symphonies see Beethoven in a similarly amiable mood. The composer’s sixth is a premonition of the worlds of Mahler and Sibelius in its view of nature as man’s salvation. His eighth is simply a joy from start to end. \nPre-concert Recital 18:30 \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nA chance to hear talented young musicians\nFree admission \nThe concert is scheduled to end at approximately 22.00 \nTickets: £45.00 £35.00 £25.00 £15.00

SUMMARY:Oxford Beethoven Festival: Symphony & Concerto Cycle VI
DESCRIPTION:BEETHOVEN\nSymphony No. 4 in B flat major\, Op. 60\nPiano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major\, Op. 73\, ‘Emperor’ \nMarios Papadopoulos piano/conductor \nFew works communicate just how significant and pivotal a cultural figure Beethoven was like the ‘Emperor’ piano concerto\, every bit deserving of its title. This unprecedented ‘grand concerto’ would explode the scale of the genre and prove a model for composers from Brahms to Liszt and beyond. Inspired by new\, louder and more sensitive pianos and alarmed by Napoleon’s bombardment of Vienna\, Beethoven created a monumental musical testament to the freedom of man. Marios Papadopoulos plays and directs the concerto after Beethoven’s charming Symphony No. 4. \nPre-concert Recital 18:30 \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nA chance to hear talented young musicians\nFree admission \nThe concert is scheduled to end at approximately 21.05 \nSupported by Geoffrey & Caroline de Jager \n\nTickets: £35 £2 £15

SUMMARY:Oxford Beethoven Festival: Symphony & Concerto Cycle VII
DESCRIPTION:BEETHOVEN\nChristus am Ölberge\, Op. 85\nViolin Concerto in D major\, Op. 61 \nEleanor Dennis soprano\nIan Bostridge tenor\nDavid Soar bass\nThe Choir of Keble College\nAnne-Sophie Mutter violin \nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nAnne-Sophie Mutter returns to the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and brings to our Beethoven celebrations one of the composer’s most joyous\, lyrical works – his Violin Concerto. If the composer appears trouble-free in that score\, his oratorio Christus am Ölberge was a cry of anguish\, a reflection of the composer’s inner turmoil through that of Christ’s. It is a powerful\, dramatic and intense work in which Beethoven is unflinching in the face of emotional and physical distress\, but is filled with music of strange beauty\, clear humanity and compelling drama nonetheless. \nThe concert is scheduled to end at approximately 21.50 \nSupported by Michael Thomas & Serena Simmons \n\nTickets: £40 £30 £20

SUMMARY:Oxford Beethoven Festival: Symphony & Concerto Cycle VIII
DESCRIPTION:BEETHOVEN\nFantasia in C minor\, Op. 80\, ‘Choral Fantasy’\nSymphony No. 9 in D minor\, Op. 125\, ‘Choral’ \nClaire Rutter soprano\nAngela Simkin mezzo-soprano\nToby Spence tenor\nDavid Shipley bass\nPhilharmonischer Chor der Stadt Bonn\nPaul Krämer chorus master \nMarios Papadopoulos piano/conductor \nConcert introduced by John Suchet \nBeethoven’s ninth still sounds palpably off-the-leash despite the two centuries of musical evolution that have passed since its first performance in 1824. This most iconic of symphonies is still riddled with contradictions – part model of classical form\, part complete rule-breaker; a dark\, deranged romp and an inspiring journey to triumph. Marios Papadopoulos conducts it here\, the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra joined by singers from Beethoven’s home town of Bonn\, after the very work that smoothened its way: the unique hybrid of symphony\, concerto and choral work that is the ‘Choral Fantasy’. \nThe concert is scheduled to end at approximately 21.50 \n\nTickets: £40 £30 £20

SUMMARY:Oxford Philharmonic at the Cadogan
DESCRIPTION:Mozart Ch’io mi scordi di te?\, K. 505\nMozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor\, K. 466\nJohn Rutter Anniversary Greeting for the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra (world premiere)*\nBeethoven Symphony No. 7 in A major\, Op. 92 \nSophie Bevan Soprano\nJohn Rutter conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos piano/conductor \nThe seventh is Beethoven’s most fascinating symphony – a work whose new vision of rhythm’s relationship with harmony produced the most physical\, compelling music that had ever been created. Beethoven wasn’t just exploring new techniques\, he was giving voice to a wave of joy that had swept into his life and filled him with determination and optimism. Before it\, we hear Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20\, which sees the composer begin his transformation of the piano concerto from entertaining diversion to engrossing narrative experience. Marios Papadopoulos is conductor and soloist for this visit to London’s Cadogan Hall.

SUMMARY:Enigma Variations
DESCRIPTION:Morfydd Llwyn Owen Nocturne*  Side-by-Side\nElgar Cello Concerto in E minor\, Op. 85\nElgar Variations on an Original Theme\, Op. 36\, ‘Enigma’ \nAlban Gerhardt cello\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nWhen Edward Elgar started to improvise a little tune at his piano one day\, considering how a group of his closest friends might play that tune\, he gave birth to one of the greatest masterpieces of English music. The ‘Enigma’ variations are uplifting and resigned\, humorous and profound. Elgar’s dazzling\, virtuosic orchestral showpiece comes after his acerbic\, embittered and sorrowful Cello Concerto written in less happy times\, and the rediscovered gem that is Morfydd Llwyn Owen’s sumptuous Nocturne.

SUMMARY:Bruckner Seven
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major\, Op. 19\nBruckner Symphony No. 7 in E major\, WAB 107 \nPaul Lewis piano\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nNone of his works brought Anton Bruckner the joy and pride of his seventh symphony. This is the composer’s most delicately etched orchestral creation and his most instantly beautiful – a symphony that enshrines a heartfelt eulogy for Richard Wagner but thrusts with excitement and changeability too. For this culmination of our season at the Sheldonian Theatre\, Marios Papadopoulos conducts Bruckner’s symphony here after Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 – actually the composer’s first full-length orchestral work\, and an imposingly assertive one at that.

Mozart’s volatile Symphony No. 25 pays homage to the ‘father of the symphony’ himself\, Joseph Haydn\, who is represented by his more doleful Symphony No. 44 in the Sheldonian Theatre\, as well as his frolicking Cello Concerto No. 1 featuring soloist Oliver Simpson – winner of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra’s 2022 Oxfordshire Senior Concerto Competition.

SUMMARY:Anna Fedorova and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Grieg Piano Concerto in A minor\, Op. 16\nSibelius Symphony No. 5 in E flat major\, Op. 82 \nAnna Fedorova piano\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nFor Sibelius\, only nature could transcend the agony of life. The composer’s Symphony No. 5 is perhaps the supreme musical example of that concept – a work in which the composer imagines himself soaring above earthly concerns like the flock of swans he describes using the orchestra’s inspiring\, ascendanttrumpets. The Nordic region’s most stirring symphony is heard here at the Sheldonian Theatre alongside its most famous Piano Concerto – Edvard Grieg’s Concerto in A minor. The composition is a reconciling of romantic sweep and passion with the clarity and fresh air of his Norwegian mountain aesthetic. Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova joins Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra for this concert of bold statements from the north.

SUMMARY:Evengy Kissin
DESCRIPTION:John Rutter Anniversary Greeting for the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra\nRachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor\, Op. 30\nShostakovich Symphony No. 5 in D minor\, Op. 47 \nEvgeny Kissin piano\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nUnder the greatest pressure\, Shostakovich delivered his most supreme masterpiece. Condemned by the Soviet powers after his satirical opera Lady Macbeth\, Shostakovich was ordered to write a symphony rejoicing in Stalin’s reign of terror. The result was a score poetic\, sardonic and climactic that ends with a forced smile that proves the most shattering of climaxes. Before it\, giant of the Russian piano school Evgeny Kissin joins Marios Papadopoulos for Rachmaninov’s dignified Piano Concerto No. 3\, in which a lone virtuoso thunders against a surging orchestra in a heart-stopping narrative. John Rutter’s new work written for the Orchestra’s 25th birthday kicks off this titanic season opening at Oxford Town Hall.

SUMMARY:Mozart Masterpieces

Before it we hear Mozart channelling the spirit of Turkey in one of his most characterful opera overtures\, while afterward comes the Mozart symphony in which everything changed. The first of his final symphonic trilogy is a work from which the brooding opening spills music of the most infectious joy. Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra return to the Sheldonian Theatre for this celebration of the genius and joy of Mozart.

SUMMARY:Tchaikovsky Piano Trio
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven Piano Trio in G major\, Op. 1 No. 2\nTchaikovsky Piano Trio in A minor\, Op. 50 \nMembers of the Oxford Philharmonic\nMarios Papadopoulos piano \nTchaikovsky once dismissed the combination of piano\, violin and cello as unworkable. But when his friend and mentor Nikolai Rubinstein died\, Tchaikovsky changed tack dramatically. In Rubinstein’s memory\, a piano trio of extraordinary potency and profundity emerged deep from within Tchaikovsky’s soul. The resulting work is symphonic in scale and theatrical in drama\, combining heroism and euphoria with the deepest human pain and pathos. Marios Papadopoulos joins members of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra to traverse the two colossal movements of Tchaikovsky’s chamber music masterpiece\, after opening with the elegant piano trio from Beethoven’s very first opus.

SUMMARY:Rachmaninov Two
DESCRIPTION:Tchaikovsky Polonaise and Waltz from Eugene Onegin\, Op. 24* Side-by-Side\nRachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor\, Op. 18\nRachmaninov Symphony No. 2 in E minor\, Op. 27 \nLise de la Salle piano\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nThere’s a reason Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is the most popular work of its kind ever written. From lonely chords\, this iconic score hurtles towards a thundering climax via a succession of irresistible melodies – athletic one moment and heart-rending the next. Six years later\, the composer freed himself from political turmoil with a stretch in Dresden that would become one of the most productive of his career. The standout result was a symphony powered by melody that encompasses infernal whirlwinds\, passionate declarations of love and heartfelt reflections of peace. French pianist Lise de la Salle joins us for this feast of peak Rachmaninov\, opening with livewire dances from his great forbear Tchaikovsky. \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nPre-concert recital 18:30\nSupported by The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust

SUMMARY:Beethoven Pastoral
DESCRIPTION:Mendelssohn The Hebrides Overture\, Op. 26\, ‘Fingal’s Cave’\nVaughan Williams The Lark Ascending\nWagner Forest Murmurs from Siegfried\, WWV 86C\nBeethoven Symphony No. 6 in F major\, Op. 68\, ‘Pastoral’ \nLeia Zhu violin\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nBe transported from the urbane perfection of the Sheldonian Theatre into the mysteries of the forest\, the wilds of the hills and valleys and the tempests of the open seas. Marios Papadopoulos conducts a concert filled with music inspired by nature\, from Mendelssohn’s dizzying orchestral boat trip on heaving Scottish seas to the calm idylls of Wagner’s murmuring forest and the ‘silver chain of sound’ of Vaughan Williams’s soaring lark. The concert culminates in Beethoven’s symphonic visit to the Austrian countryside – in his own words\, a ‘ramble for a while through bushes\, woods\, under trees\, through grass\, and around rocks\,’ that includes storms\, partying\, feasting and dancing. \nPanel Discussion\, 18:30\nChaired by Cameron Hepburn\, Professor of Environmental Economics at the University of Oxford. Leading climate experts and musicians come together to discuss the inspiring effect of the natural world in music.\nFree admission.

SUMMARY:Janine Jansen
DESCRIPTION:Marcello Palazzo Trails* world premiere\nMendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor\, Op. 64\nSchubert Symphony No. 9 in C major\, D. 944\, ‘The Great’ \nJanine Jansen violin\nMarcello Palazzo conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nFrom its monolithic opening theme kick-starting a cycle of inexorable momentum like a giant pendulum\, to the breathless dash of its finale\, Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 of 1828 offers one of the most riveting journeys of any symphonic work. Along the way he appears to push at the boundaries of his age with grinding harmonies\, protruding limbs and unstoppable waltz-like rhythms. No wonder it attracted the title ‘Great’. Marios Papadopoulos conducts Schubert’s final symphony here having been joined by a true violin great\, Janine Jansen\, for the radiant song that is Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. The concert opens with a world premiere of a work selected from last year’s composers’ workshop\, conducted by the composer himself.

SUMMARY:James Ehnes plays Schumann
DESCRIPTION:Weber Overture to Oberon\, J. 306\nSchumann Violin Concerto in A minor\, Op. 129\nSchumann Symphony No. 3 in E flat major\, Op. 97\, ‘Rhenish’ \nJames Ehnes violin\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nRobert Schumann’s forceful imagination\, his inquisitive mind\, his passion for literature and his music of rare poetry exerted an influence on European creativity for decades. This concert culminates in one of the most propulsive symphonies ever written: Schumann’s captivating orchestral portrait of the deep and majestic River Rhine\, complete with its splendid procession in salute to Cologne Cathedral. Before it\, James Ehnes plays the composer’s Violin Concerto – a piece thought lost until it was discovered\, with help from a séance\, in the 1930s. In its intricate writing\, Schumann’s work has been compared to the plotting characters in a play – precisely what Weber sought to achieve in the overture to his enchanting opera Oberon.

DESCRIPTION:Farrenc Overture No. 2 in E flat major\, Op. 24* Side-by-Side\nBeethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor\, Op. 37\nBeethoven Symphony No. 5 in C minor\, Op. 67 \nJavier Perianes piano\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nBeethoven had a transformative effect on both the symphony and the piano concerto\, expanding the expressive range and physical dimensions of both. Few works demonstrate that better than the composer’s pivotal Piano Concerto No. 3 – in which the composer brings new drama and tension to the form – and the symphony with the most famous opening gambit in history. Beethoven’s Fifth is both a defiantly optimistic symphony and a manifesto for a new form of musical design that couldn’t help but influence future generations\, not least the equally headstrong Louise Farrenc\, whose music opens this concert. Javier Perianes joins Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra for some of the most striking orchestral works of the 19th century. \nYoung Artists’ Platform\nPre-concert recital 18:30

Before it\, a work both menacing and mellifluent\, the exquisite picture of radiant beauty and dark foreboding that is Brahms’s Symphony No. 3.

SUMMARY:Mischa Maisky
DESCRIPTION:Henry Le Feber Robertson Oublié*  world premiere\nDvořák Cello Concerto in B minor\, Op. 104\nDvořák Symphony No. 9 in E minor\, Op. 95\, ‘From the New World’ \nMischa Maisky cello\nCayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*\nMarios Papadopoulos conductor \nWhen Dvořák first heard America’s spirituals and plantation songs\, he wrote that they would form ‘the future music of this country’. Rather sooner\, the spirit of those melodies made their way into Dvořák’s most popular work. In his ‘New World’ symphony\, the composer wove the songs of native America into music of intense warmth\, drama and spontaneity. Nature shines through this most gregarious music\, but so does the sense of sadness and longing that also colours the composer’s wistful Cello Concerto – another moving product of the Czech composer’s years spent expatriated across the Atlantic. Musical icon Mischa Maisky joins Marios Papadopoulos and the orchestra for this concert of heartfelt letters from America. The second premiere selected from last year’s composers’ workshop opens the concert.
