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.

Howard Trombone Concerto, presented by the Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra
2025-11-15 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Victoria Hall, Victoria Hall, Norfolk St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield, S1 2Jb, United Kingdom
Join the Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra as it launches its 80th annual concert series with a vibrant and thrilling programme of music.

The concert will open with Dorothy Howell’s last large-scale orchestral work Three Divertissements. Originally written for the 1940 Proms but shelved due to wartime cancellations, Three Divertissements has remained largely unheard until recent years. This lively and colourful suite is a brilliant rediscovery by a British composer whose music is finally being brought back to the spotlight.

Dani Howard’s Trombone Concerto is a powerful and uplifting response to the challenges of 2020, written during lockdown as a celebration of human resilience and connection. Across three vivid movements – from quiet introspection to joyful, high-energy celebration – the solo trombone takes on the role of an individual navigating a complex world, ultimately emerging with hope and purpose. Expect dazzling virtuosity from soloist Blair Sinclair, Principal Trombone of Opera North.

Finally, immerse yourself in the sweeping drama and rich romanticism of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in E minor – a symphonic journey through fate, passion, and triumph. This is Tchaikovsky at his most emotionally compelling.

Celebrate this milestone season with us and experience a night of powerful live music, unforgettable melodies, and virtuosic performance.
