After dazzling the audience in the Palau with a memorable debut in 2024, the exceptional Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova is reunited with the Franz Schubert Filharmonia to perform the concerto that brought her fame, Rachmaninov’s majestic Piano Concerto No. 2.

Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova is one of the world’s finest performers of Rachmaninov and a digital sensation: her live recording of the composer’s Piano Concerto No. 2 has garnered almost 45 million views on YouTube. Rachmaninov wrote this work in the wake of the disastrous premiere of his First Symphony. He sealed a period of psychological recovery with a richly Romantic concerto that makes huge demands on the soloist. The work’s brilliance and emotional range have ensured its lasting appeal with audiences everywhere.

In the second half of the concert, under the baton of charismatic Norwegian conductor Rune Bergmann, the orchestra will reveal the full power and beauty of Sibelius’s monumental Fifth Symphony for an evening of pure musical genius.
