About This Event

Award-winning German pianist Martin Helmchen makes his Proms debut as soloist in Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto, a vast work full of mercurial mood swings and technical demands. The concerto’s late-Romantic spirit and generous scope find an echo in Dora PejaÄŤević’s Symphony in F sharp minor, richly scored and resplendent with brass. Composed during the First World War, when PejaÄŤević worked as a nurse, the work receives its Proms premiere by Sakari Oramo and the ±«Óătv Symphony Orchestra following their critically acclaimed recording.
