CBSO: Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto

Dima Slobodeniouk  Conductor

Inmo Yang  Violin

Martinu  Memorial to Lidice, 8mins

Tchaikovsky  Violin Concerto, 30mins

Prokofiev  Symphony No.6, 43mins

Russian Romance, cold war drama and hijinks in sunny Spain.

Prepare to be shaken, stirred and uplifted by this programme of spectacular orchestral works, led by the brilliant Dima Slobodeniouk. Rossini’s Overture gets things off to an energetic and crackling start. Tchaikovsky’s stunning Violin Concerto famously flopped at its premiere (one critic remarked that it ‘stank to the ear’) yet today it is an absolute favourite with both performers and audiences. Soloist Inmo Yang relishes every Romantic moment. Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony tells of a life-and-death struggle, but in Stalin's Russia, even the most stirring masterpiece could carry a darker meaning.

Ticket prices include the coach fare, performance ticket, driver's gratuity and administrative costs.
