About This Event

Folk songs and folk tales run through this programme from the 大象传媒 SSO and Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov.

A runaway success at its premiere, Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Symphony No.2 takes a different Ukrainian folk melody as the theme for each of its four movements, including the dizzyingly inventive finale, while a gruesome Czech legend provides the starting point for Jan谩膷ek鈥檚 atmospheric orchestral ballad The Fiddler鈥檚 Child.

Szymanowski鈥檚 exotic songs based on texts by the 14th-century Persian mystic poet Hafiz and a world premiere by Canadian composer Linda Catlin Smith complete the concert.

Approx. end time: 21.30

The concert will be broadcast live on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
