A welcome return to the Festival by the RPO, and conductor Owain Arwel Hughes in his 70th birthday year, in a celebratory concert that opens with Walton's Crown Imperial in honour of HM The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The current season sees dynamic British pianist Freddy Kempf perform the complete cycle of piano concertos by his favourite composer, Beethoven, in many of the UK's most important venues and tonight he joins the orchestra for the majestic Piano Concerto No 5, popularly known as the "Emperor Concerto". The concert ends with Brahms' final and best loved Symphony No 4.
'The Newbury Festival would like to thank Yamaha for kindly supporting us with supply of their Concert Grand Piano - The CFX'.
