Rimsky-Korsakov – Scheherazade
Our season ends with a visit from the distinguished Moscow State Symphony Orchestra under their music director, Pavel Kogan. Kogan will be joined on the platform by Chloe Hanslip, the highly talented young British violinist who will perform Philip Glass’ thrilling Violin Concerto. This work has become a great favourite amongst Classic FM audiences and anyone who does not know this concerto should certainly attend the performance, because it is a stunning piece that once heard you will want to hear again and again.
The concert opens with Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Marche Slave and ends with Rimsky-Korsakov’s much-loved Scheherazade with its exotic and highly coloured evocation of the Tales of the Arabian Nights and its mesmerising picture of the hero Sinbad, a tempestuous storm at sea and the lovely figure of Scheherazade herself.

I thought I was on your mailing list, but I've had nothing about the autumn, not even the Sept-Oct film programme.

Hi Peter
I have checked our data and you are indeed on our mailing list - your Autumn Diary, along with the Sep-Oct Cinema Diary should be on its way to you. They were all sent out on Thursday 26 August - most people seem to have received theirs by now - although unfortunately we are at the mercy of the postal services so some arrive later than others.
Please do let us know if they still do not arrive within the next day or so, and we'll arrange to resend copies to you.
With best wishes
