This programme explores how composers have made their views heard about current and historical events. From Beethoven's Eroica Symphony originally dedicated to Napoleon, Shostakovitch's response to composing under the Soviet Regime to Sibelius' desire for freedom for the Finnish people and Copland's powerful 'Fanfare for the Common Man'. Closer to home, we also commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre with Arnold's Peterloo Overture. PRE-CONCERT TALK 6.30PM included
