Stravinsky Rite of Spring
Stéphane Denève (CONDUCTOR)
James Ehnes (VIOLIN)
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
With a sultry flute solo, Claude Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune opened an astonishing new world for western music. Two decades later, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring blew that world sky-high – and audiences rioted! We don’t expect riots tonight, but one thing’s for sure: Stéphane Denève and the RSNO should deliver some serious voltage. Samuel Barber’s enthralling Violin Concerto will be the calm before the storm, and few play this piece quite as beautifully as James Ehnes.
Pre-concert talk 6.45pm John Poulter (RSNO Associate Principal Percussion)
