A magnificent, many-headed singing beast, the Spooky Men’s Chorale carves out new territories of mighty sounds, exquisite tenderness, and charming stupidity. Festival favourites in Australia and the UK, they evoke musical worlds far beyond that suggested by their unassuming, casually hatted, black-clad appearance. They are just a bunch of blokes, but where they take you will blow your mind.

VRï (Patrick Rimes, Jordan Price Williams and Aneirin Jones) bring their brand of audio-archeology back to the Dora Stoutzker Hall. Inspired by the story of Welsh wool – from the fleeces shorn from mountain sheep to the world famous brethyn cloth, this programme celebrates the songs and melodies that soundtracked the whole process. Expect to hear VRï’s signature chamber-folk sound magnified to a grand scale.

In the Latin Quarter of Paris, four young artists live for the moment, sharing what little they have; chasing big dreams and laughing through the cold. When Rodolfo meets Mimì, a quiet seamstress with a fading light, their connection is instant and unforgettable. But in a world shaped by poverty and passion, love burns brightly but all too briefly.

What is it to be a woman in mid-life? If anyone has worked this out, could they please tell Eleanor and Sophie so they can get out of this creepy little room?

Grip of Life

Is this the greatest violin sonata ever written? Viktoria Mullova and Alasdair Beatson launch their Beethoven odyssey with the spectacular 'Kreutzer' sonata – a superstar violinist and a radical composer testing the outer limits of chamber music itself. But they begin with Ludwig in a more intimate mood. Two of Beethoven’s youthful masterpieces create an elegant setting for the fireworks to come.

Viktoria Mullova & Alasdair Beatson: Beethoven Violin Sonatas I

For Debussy and Ravel, the soul of French music lay in a more elegant age, and they sprinkled sonic stardust over a dream of the baroque. Each of Chopin’s 24 Preludes, meanwhile, is a miniature world of fantasy, colour and deep emotion - and according to one critic, Llŷr Williams plays them “much as the composer is thought to have played them”.

When you think of Russian music, you think of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov – two giants of melody and emotion, who could create whole worlds of feeling from a single piano. Ukrainian born Alexander Gavrylyuk is soaked in that tradition, and today he pairs two of their most personal masterpieces with three composers who inspired them: Chopin, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky’s lifelong hero Mozart.

Steinway International Piano Series: Alexander Gavrylyuk

As Beethoven approached the end of his life, his imagination scaled new heights – and nowhere more poetically than in his late piano sonata Op.109. To commemorate Beethoven’s death in 1827, we’re including it twice in the Steinway Series, and today it’s the remarkable Samson Tsoy who explores its “deep, searching lyricism”: framed by Tsoy with Beethoven-inspired masterworks by Brahms and Galina Ustvolskaya.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: the 30-piece Down for the Count Swing Orchestra returns with its much-loved annual seasonal treat, Swing Into Christmas! Gather your loved ones for a joyful set of festive and non-festive classics as you’ve never experienced them before.

Swing Into Christmas with Down for the Count Swing Orchestra

In the second concert of his Baroque Connections series, the RWCMD’s Llŷr Williams dives deep into the romantic heart of the baroque legacy. Busoni and Liszt meet Johann Sebastian Bach, Rachmaninoff meets Corelli, and Brahms encounters Handel – and the results are as moving as they are spectacular. Expect deep insight and powerful emotions from this most imaginative of Welsh pianists.
