BBC SSO 2022/23: Thursday Night Series - Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade
General booking is now open for all concerts in the BBC SSO’s 2022/23 Season. BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra The Thursday Night Series Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Scheherazade' THOMAS ADÈS Three-piece Suite from ‘Powder Her Face’ (c.12 mins) BLOCH Schelomo: Rhapsodie hébraïque* (c.19 mins) RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Scheherazade (c.44 mins) Pablo Ferrández: Cello* Alpesh Chauhan: Conductor Heralded by a blaze of brass, a solo violin spins a slow, languorous line to bewitch and beguile... Scheherazade’s opening is the musical equivalent of whispering ‘Once upon a time’ and Rimsky-Korsakov uses all his orchestral wizardry in these dramatic scenes from the 1001 Nights. If that violin represents the seductive voice of Scheherazade herself, there’s a more mournful – if no less passionate – equivalent in Bloch’s Schelomo where the cello embodies the soul of King Solomon. Pablo Ferrández, in the first of two appearances with our Associate Conductor, Alpesh Chauhan, is the soloist. Seduction? Passion? Cue extracts from Thomas Adès’s opera about the scandalous Duchess of Argyll, full of slinky foxtrots and wistful waltzes. Concessions: £6.00 - Under 26s, Students (in full-time education), Registered Unemployed 50% Discount - Registered Disabled \*\*\* Age Restrictions: Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult, limited to 2 child tickets at £6.00 each per adult ticket. \*\*\*
