NBSO Presents “Cuppa Tea”

Be carried through memory, melody, and quiet longing, as nostalgia deepens into something tender and true, leaving you feeling gently restored. Yaniv Dinur, conductor Stephen Hough, piano Percy Grainger: Five British Folk-Music Settings Stephen Hough: Piano Concerto “The World of Yesterday” Edward Elgar: Enigma Variations World-renowned pianist Stephen Hough, and one of Twenty Living Polymaths (as named by The Economist), joins us to play his own Piano Concerto. Titled “The World of Yesterday”, Hough’s piece takes us on a rollercoaster ride to nostalgic memories of some good-old dances like the waltz and tarantella. You will hum along with Percy Grainger’s arrangements of famous tunes like “Oh Danny Boy”, and might shed a tear when you hear “Nimrod” from Elgar’s Enigma Variations in this concert dedicated to great British music.
