Our season ends with a visit from the distinguished Moscow State Symphony Orchestra under their music director, Pavel Kogan. Kogan will be joined on the platform by Chloe Hanslip, the highly talented young British violinist who will perform Philip Glass’ thrilling Violin Concerto. This work has become a great favourite amongst Classic FM audiences and anyone who does not know this concerto should certainly attend the performance, because it is a stunning piece that once heard you will want to hear again and again. The concert opens with Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Marche Slave and ends with Rimsky-Korsakov’s much-loved Scheherazade with its exotic and highly coloured evocation of the Tales of the Arabian Nights and its mesmerising picture of the hero Sinbad, a tempestuous storm at sea and the lovely figure of Scheherazade herself.
