Imogen Cooper and Paul Lewis play Mozart
Two Pianos. Four Hands. Unlimited enjoyment.
Who’s on stage
Rounding off our classical season, it’s of course got to be Royal Northern Sinfonia and their Music Director Dinis Sousa. We’ve also got two extremely special guests in the shape of the pianist legends that are Imogen Cooper and Paul Lewis. It’s your last chance to see Imogen in the North East as she retires at the end of this season.

What’s happening in the music?
Two contrasted moods in tonight’s concert. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 10 (for two pianos) is full of the energy of youth – graceful but with drive and verve. No. 27 came later in life. Warm, uncomplicated and mellow, it’s uncharacteristically straight to the point for Mozart, with just the slightest hint of weary resignation.
