About the Concert

Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" transports the audience into a colorful world from the stories of "One Thousand and One Nights". The music thrives on strong contrasts, powerful orchestral sounds meet a smooth solo violin, embodying the storyteller Scheherazade. Each of the four movements tells its own scene full of adventure, romance, and mystery. Rimsky-Korsakov was a master of orchestration, and one can almost hear waves, storms, and exotic landscapes. A recurring melody of the solo violin connects the episodes like a thread. An imaginative musical journey (not only) for all who love fairy tales!
