Some will know of his work in 2002/2003 when he was a rising star at major European concert halls and Carnegie Hall, New York.
MSO’s concert, the Vienna Masters, will showcase Brahms’ 2nd Piano Concerto, a dramatic piece intertwining raptures of the greatest love songs, with the intimacy of lullaby.
Mr Grodd has included Haydn’s Symphony No.101 known as Clock Symphony because of its ticking rhythm in the second movement and described as a joyfully musical experience.
