SCO 26/27: Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion & Celeste

Join us for a programme that revels in the brilliance of strings and winds, led by Maxim Emelyanychev in the dual role of conductor and pianist for this captivating evening.

Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, a 20th-century classic celebrated for its rhythmic vitality and haunting beauty, opens the programme. Its bold textures and hypnotic interplay conjure an atmosphere that is both electrifying and mysterious.

Schnittke’s Concerto for Piano and Strings, a work of striking contrasts - both playful and profoundly dramatic - offers an unmissable showcase for Maxim’s artistry at the keyboard. The evening concludes with Dvořák’s Serenade for Winds, a Romantic gem teeming with elegance and warmth.

Please note: Photography will be taking place at this performance. If you wish not to be featured or have any questions, please get in touch or speak with a member of staff before the concert.
