Suffolk Sinfonia Concert
Stories of sadness underlie the lively music of the Suffolk Sinfonia’s Autumn outing. The centrepiece is the glorious piano concerto from Robert Schumann, who struggled with depression for all of his life. Beethoven’s Egmont overture tells the story of a martyr celebrated in Goethe’s poetry, and the programme is completed with Schubert’s 5th symphony - the Tragic. No need to bring a handkerchief though; the stories are sad, the music is uplifting.
