Violin Concerto No.1 in A minor
MODEST MUSSORGSKY
Pictures at an Exhibition
Our May concert is an all-Russian affair and opens with La Mer by Alexander Glazunov, a Fantasy for Orchestra based on his trip to the Crimea. Scored for huge forces, the work is a sumptuous, Wagnerian inspired journey across the Crimean Peninsula. Shostakovich, a student of Glazunov, wrote his powerful 1st Violin Concerto between 1947 & 1948, and held back the work until the environment in Soviet Russia had improved in 1955. The amazing violinist Andy Long joins us for what will be a highly emotive performance. Maurice Ravel's orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky's most famous work, Pictures at an Exhibition closes the concert so do join us for the journey around Mussorgsky's gallery.
In partnership with Big Ideas By The Sea
