Franck Symphony in D minor

We welcome the return of a familiar friend of the SSO: the distinguished British pianist Stephen Hough in Saint-Saëns’s picturesque Egyptian Piano Concerto. This all-French programme directed by SSO Principal Guest Conductor Andrew Litton also features a rare opportunity to hear one of the finest examples of symphonic tradition from the hands of the French - the shimmering majesty of César Franck’s only Symphony.

The most perfect piano playing conceivable.

The Guardian on Stephen Hough

Attend this Concert

To hear one of Britain's favourite piano personalities. Franck's Symphony is also fascinating: a traditionally Germanic form written "in French".
