Stravinsky: Jeu de Cartes
Haydn: Symphony No 83 ‘La Poule’
Tchaikovsky: Scenes from ‘The Nutcracker’

Robin Ticciati, conductor

Brilliant, witty, playful, surprising and suave: words that well describe both Haydn and Stravinsky who are paired in three concerts this spring. A sparkling joie de vivre pervades all three, but expect more: Ticciati has already demonstrated his power to mine deep below the surface and draw his audience into the passion and complexity that lies at the music’s heart. Adding a seasonal icing to the cake, some of Ticciati’s own favourite dances from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker round off the evening.

Pre-Concert Talk: 6.30pm (Free to ticket holders). Ashley Page, Artistic Director of Scottish Ballet, in conversation with Svend Brown about Stravinsky and ballet.
