Information

An exhilarating programme with one of Britain’s most celebrated pianists, Martin Roscoe, showcasing the music of three great composers separated by the Atlantic Ocean: Gershwin, Rachmaninov and Bernstein.
Martin Roscoe, always a popular soloist with St Cecilia Orchestra, returns to Ripon Cathedral to perform Gershwin’s lively and rhythmic piano concerto. Rachmaninov’s ‘perfectly proportioned, ingeniously constructed and melodically exultant’ second symphony (one of his best-loved and most enduring works) and Bernstein’s sparkling Candide overture complete the programme.
