REVIEW: White Nights

Reading Time: 2 minutesRemember the blazing fanfares that open Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony? For Tchaikovsky, they symbolised Fate, and the whole symphony simply bursts with melody and emotion. If you’ve already heard Vasily Petrenko conduct Russian music, you won’t need telling twice: things are about to get exciting, in a concert that begins with the flying fiddles of Weinberg’s Moldavian Rhapsody and features the unforgettable tunes of Shostakovich’s irreverent Suite. Trust us, you’ll know them when you hear them!

REVIEW: Kismet

Reading Time: 3 minutesWe caught the new double bill delivered by Rambert at the Festival Theatre. It was also the world premiere of Gallery of Consequence. KISMET brings together two heartfelt works that reflect on the unpredictable and deeply human experience we all share.
