The Borders musician Mike Hardy will be familiar to many of you - he joins us to perform the idiomatic and exciting Trumpet Concerto written in 1949-50 by the Armenian composer Alexander Arutiunian. The second half comprises Schubert’s famous symphony No. 8, one of his most beautiful compositions and sadly left unfinished, followed by two of Johann Strauss’s most famous and evergreen orchestral works.
