Grandes Clásicos: Violín Mendelssohn y Scheherazade

A classical music programme with the Orquesta Clásica Santa Cecilia, conducted by Julian Kuerti, and the violinist Veriko Tchumburidze as soloist in Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, alongside works by Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov.

The evening brings the Orquesta Clásica Santa Cecilia to the stage of the Sala Sinfónica at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, under the direction of Julian Kuerti. The solo part is played by the violinist Veriko Tchumburidze, who performs Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64.

The programme is completed by the overture to Prince Igor by Borodin and by Scheherazade, Op. 35, by Rimsky-Korsakov. These are works from the 19th-century symphonic repertoire, written by composers of a different background from that of Mendelssohn's concerto.

In a single evening, then, the dialogue between soloist and orchestra in Mendelssohn's concerto sits alongside two pieces from the Russian orchestral tradition. The programme is aimed at anyone looking for a journey through central titles of the classical repertoire performed live.
