‘What light through yonder window breaks’? In 1930’s Russia Prokofiev retold the story of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers with melodies of steel and heart of pure gold. Beethoven never wrote a darker piano concerto than his Third but it’s also the most intimate and there’s no better showcase for the brilliance and wit of the outstanding Tom Borrow as he makes his Stoke-on-Trent debut.

Brahms - Tragic Overture
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.3
