Highlights of concerts from the USA and France

Fiona Talkington presents concerts from two American orchestras and Stravinsky performed by pianist Alexei Zuev.

Fiona Talkington presents two American orchestras from the same city - or rather the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The Minnesota Orchestra is based in Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis an area of Steel and Glass skyscrapers, while on the opposite bank of the Mississippi, the Ordway hall in St. Paul is home to the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Tonight's programme brings them together in a mix of music from the mid nineteenth and the late twentieth centuries.

And between then the extraordinary Russian pianist Alexei Zuev takes on a complete orchestra by himself in Stravinsky's own transcription of 'The Firebird'
