Sir Antonio Pappano
Tuesday 12 August 2025 • 7.30pm
Experience the power of two show-stopping symphonies at the Edinburgh International Festival, with insight from Sir Antonio Pappano and Nicola Benedetti.
Beethoven’s defiant Symphony No 5 meets the sneering mockery of Shostakovich and Prokofiev in exhilarating mood. Sir Antonio Pappano conducts, as pianist Seong-Jin Cho begins his Artist Portrait series.
Join Nathalie Stutzmann and Leif Ove Andsnes as we bring Beethoven’s pathos, Wagner’s power, and Strauss’ dazzling Vienna to life in a thrilling orchestral journey.
