Chamber music from Edinburgh and Welsh music at the Proms

The celebrated horn player Stefan Dohr at the Edinburgh International Festival, and the ±«Óãtv National Orchestra of Wales at the ±«Óãtv Proms.

Elizabeth Alker presents an afternoon of great music-making including chamber music from this year’s Edinburgh International Festival and an appearance by the ±«Óãtv National Orchestra of Wales at the ±«Óãtv Proms with a programme with a strong Welsh flavour.

Chamber music from Edinburgh features horn player Stefan Dohr who has been described as the ‘king of his instrument’. When he’s not performing as Principal Horn for the Berlin Philharmonic he’s a keen chamber musician and for his Edinburgh International Festival recital at the Queen’s Hall he joins friends, violinist Caroline Widmann and pianist Dénes Várjon. Together they play Romantic music by Brahms and Beethoven, showcasing the breath of the horn’s virtuoso capabilities.
