    Piano Quintet in E-flat, Op.44

Maxim Emelyanychev piano
Stephanie Gonley violin
Marcus Barcham Stevens violin
Max Mandel viola
Philip Higham cello

Experience the exceptional artistry of SCO Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev in his other great musical passion: chamber music. As well as an effervescent conductor, Maxim is an accomplished keyboard soloist: join him and his friends and colleagues from the Orchestra in two very different but equally heartfelt works by Robert Schumann, written within just weeks of each other.

Schumann’s richly Romantic Piano Quartet offers warmth, depth and uplifting lyricism. His Piano Quintet, by contrast, is music that can barely contain its exuberant joy and vitality, conceived on an almost symphonic scale.
