Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade
************************************************************************
It’s one of the most beloved works of the Romantic era and Rimsky-Korsakov’s grandest symphonic masterpiece. And now, Symphony Nova Scotia performs the imaginative, colourful Scheherazade for the first time in almost a decade. Music Director Holly Mathieson conducts this awe-inspiring tour de force that the composer himself called “a kaleidoscope of fairy-tale images” to kick off our Spotlight Series. Plus, multi-award-winning, rising star Canadian pianist Tony Yike Yang – youngest-ever laureate in the history of the International Chopin Piano Competition and hailed as “one of Canada’s finest young musicians” (CBC) – joins us to perform Tchaikovksy’s captivating Piano Concerto No. 1, a piece that has been admired for over 150 years for its virtuosic piano writing, lush melodies, and beautiful orchestration.
Please note: This Spotlight Concert is on Friday, October 18, 2024 at 7:30 pm.
