London Firebird Orchestra
St George's Church, W1S 1FX , [Venue Details]Described by Seen & Heard International as “full of fire and brimstone” and “as full-blooded as possible,” Firebird’s Artistic Director Marc Corbett-Weaver joins the orchestra as soloist in Tchaikovsky’s epically popular Piano Concerto no. 1.
Famously declared unplayable by Nikolai Rubenstein, the concerto opens with a famous romantic theme – inspired by folk musicians playing in the market in Kiev – which links melodically to each of the principal melodies of the entire piece.
This Russian-themed concert concludes the orchestra’s 14th season and follows a similar performance in June 2025, featuring a Rachmaninoff Concerto and a Tchaikovsky Symphony.
Tonight, we continue the theme by swapping the composers and genres around. Like his Piano Concerto no. 2, which followed his famous depression, Rachmaninoff’s Symphony no. 2 also earned the composer a Glinka Award and was rapturously received.
George Jackson conducts, fresh from his concerts with the Amarillo Orchestra in Texas and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.
Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto no. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23
Rachmaninoff Symphony no. 2 in E minor, Op. 27
