Peter Moore - Howard Trombone Concerto
2025-11-08 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | The Bridgewater Hall, The Bridgewater Hall, Lower Mosley St, Manchester, M2 3WS, United Kingdom
From the crashing waves and rushing winds of Debussy’s ode to the might and the magic of the sea, to one of Mahler’s most perfect symphonies, this pair of works both explore hope and the healing power of nature. Between them, Belfast-born, Manchester-raised Peter Moore performs the RPS Award-winning trombone concerto by Dani Howard.

Trombone concertos are a rare fixture, but Howard’s virtuosic and ravishing work is appointment listening. Between her lush and minimalist-inflected music, and Moore’s extraordinary artistry (BBC Music Magazine described Peter’s playing as ‘displaying an eloquence and nobility that one might have thought impossible except by the human voice’), this left-of centre work might just be the highlight of this extraordinary concert.
