Programme:

Rimsky Korsakov
Russian Easter Festival Overture

Glazunov
Violin Concerto in A minor

Tchaikovsky
Symphony No. 2

In our second Russian Masters Series Concert, we present works from Rimsky Korsakov, Glazunov and Tchaikovsky.

Opening with Rimsky Korsakov’s Russian Easter Festival Overture, this concert will also feature the internationally acclaimed violinist Carmine Lauri performing Glazunov’s Violin Concerto.

Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony was distinctive due to its use of traditional folk tunes and Rimsky-Korsakov, among others, was particularly enthusiastic about this work because of Tchaikovsky’s treatment of the folk tunes.

Michael Laus – Conductor

Carmine Lauri – Violin
