Programme

Concert information

Venezuela鈥檚 extraordinary El Sistema is one of the most talkedabout phenomena in classical music; and conductor Rafael Payare is fast becoming one of its most talked-about graduates, combining a commanding musicianship with an energy and verve that prompted one critic to call him a 鈥渃omet鈥. So he鈥檚 a wonderfully appropriate partner for the outstanding young American cellist Alisa Weilerstein. Their joint exploration of Shostakovich鈥檚 Second Cello Concerto will form the dark, haunted heart of a concert that begins with a brand new work by one of Scotland鈥檚 most inventive living composers, and ends with the grand passions and tender secrets of Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 most personal symphony.

Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
