About the Concert
Music of the Russian Romantic period is as electrifying today as it was in the 19th century. It brings to mind such iconic Russian images as onion-domed churches, troikas travelling through snow covered landscapes, sable clad aristocracy, and immense passion. Many believe that after years of struggle Russian music finally found its identity during the Romantic Age and emerged as an important cultural symbol. Audiences and performers alike know this music for its soulful melodies, kaleidoscopic colours, surprising textures and all pervading intensity. Be it Glinka or Mussorgsky, Borodin or Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov or Tchaikovsky, an evening of Russian Romantic music is sure to stir the soul of all music lovers.
