Folklore and fairy-tale wonders frame the programme for our opening orchestral concert, starting with Lyadov’s spooky evocation of the witch Baba Yaga and ending with the lush, exotic delights of the Arabian Nights in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. Sergei Dogadin, winner of the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition, brings his award-winning interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto for his debut performance with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under its Conductor Laureate Vasily Petrenko. For many, the definitive violin concerto, Tchaikovsky’s passionate work is filled with gorgeous melodies and brilliant virtuosity.
