Beethoven 3rd Piano Concerto (Mid-Somerset Orchestra)

Following enforced pandemic silence, the Mid-Somerset Orchestra returns to present a belated celebration of 250 years since the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven.

The MSO welcomes Robert Weaver as guest conductor for this concert. Robert comes to the orchestra with considerable professional experience as both conductor and violinist. The concert will open with Beethoven's celebrated overture to his ballet The Creations of Prometheus (1801).

The orchestra also welcomes Nicola Meecham as soloist in Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto. Internationally acclaimed for both performances and recordings, Nicola has performed a wide-ranging repertoire in all the major concert halls and at prestigious festivals. The concerto was first performed in 1803 with the composer as soloist.
