Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Bruch and Brahms: four violin concertos, all connected by a single violinist.

Beethoven died in 1827. Who would be worthy to take on his mantle?

Our series on the symphony takes a slight detour to look at those works which don't quite make the grade.

We've reached the violin in our series on the concerto, and there's no end of them! (You might want to pour yourself a cup of tea for this.)

Our examination of the concerto continues with the viola, whose potential as a solo instrument was long unrecognised.

In a new series for 2024/25, who better than the SCO players to guide us through the best concertos for their instrument?

Concertos for more than a single instrument are a comparative rarity, making their performance something of a treat for everyone.
