An evening of music capturing Europe’s many colours, from the sinister Russian witches’ sabbath in Night on Bare Mountain, to the proud awakening of the Finns in Finlandia and the brilliant evocation of Spain in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol. These pieces frame the quintessential romantic concerto, Violin Concerto No. 1 by Max Bruch. One of the favourite pieces of past masters such as Menuhin and Heifetz it is also a wonderful showpiece for a young violinist, and who better to share it with us than Bella Hristova, winner of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition in 2007, and star of a hugely popular national tour in 2008.
