About this Concert
With its sweeping melodies and raw emotion, Tchaikovsky’s famous Pathétique is a powerful exploration of love, loss and fate. It’s music that speaks from the heart, and under Principal Guest Conductor Delyana Lazarova’s baton, every note tells a story.
In communist Poland, Witold Lutosławski takes a handful of folksongs and crafts them into a mini-masterpiece of wild rhythms and subversive beauty. And Duo Jatekok – a “vivacious” (The Scotsman) French piano duo with a name inspired by playfulness – lights the touchpaper on a firecracker of a double concerto, composed by a teenage genius on a mission to astonish the world.
