The Overture to Glinka’s opera Ruslan and Lyudmila is the epitome of orchestral curtain-raisers, with a furiously fast and infectious opening and rollicking good fun throughout.

MSO Assistant Concertmaster Tair Khisambeev will showcase the expressive virtuosity of Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3, filled with soaring melodies and dazzling passages.

The opening of Brahms’ First Symphony is astonishing it seems to have already been playing when we, the audience, intrude upon its crashing chords. This dramatic entrance sets the stage for a symphony filled with buttery lyricism and boisterous momentum, with its signature sound being thoroughly Brahms’.
