Beethoven200 – Piano Concerto 4

During the 2026/27 season, the MPO will commemorate the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death with a series of concerts presented throughout the season. All performances in the Beethoven200 series will be conducted by the internationally acclaimed German conductor Wolfram Christ. The series opens with a programme exploring themes of heroism, humanity, and profound imagination. Wolfram Christ leads a programme that journeys from the mythic energy of the overture from The Creatures of Prometheus to the dramatic tension of the Leonore Overture No. 3 . Renowned pianist Freddy Kempf takes centre stage in the Piano Concerto No. 4 , a work of extraordinary poetic intimacy and quiet innovation, balancing introspection with dazzling brilliance. Programme Ludwig van Beethoven: Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, Op. 43 Leonore Overture No. 3 in C Major, Op. 72 Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Op. 58
