About this event

Tonight鈥檚 all-Russian programme opens with the buzzing energy of Stravinsky鈥檚 Scherzo fantastique
and ends in a burst of cannon-fire, bells and brass as Tchaikovsky鈥檚鈥�1812鈥� Overture celebrates the defeat of Napoleon. This musical spectacle is more than matched by Rachmaninov鈥檚 choral symphony The Bells, chiming the journey from birth to death.

After making her Proms debut last year with Szymanowski鈥檚 Violin Concerto, young Latvian violinist Baiba Skride returns to perform Stravinsky鈥檚 neo-Classical Violin Concerto 鈥� lively with dance and invention.
