This event has passed.

An exhilarating programme exploring music inspired by folk, and highlighting the rich exoticism of Eastern Europe.


This culminates with a performance of Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, arguably one of the greatest achievements of the twentieth century. Bartók draws from a vast array of traditional musical inspirations, with orchestration that vividly captures diverse styles and colours. True to its title as a ‘concerto’ for orchestra rather than a ‘symphony,’ it offers a balanced distribution of melodies, presenting significant challenges for all.
