Russian music with romance

The best of Russian classical music will ring around the Colyer-fergusson Hall at the last Canterbury Orchestra concert of the year.

Russian Romantics will begin with the overture from Glinka’s second opera, a rumbustious piece said to have been inspired by the clatter of cutlery at a court wedding.

Christopher Weston returns to play Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini.

The concluding work will be Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, inspired by the paintings of his friend Victor Hartmann.

The concert starts at 7.30pm on Saturday, November 26. Tickets are £15 (£8 for students and children) and available from the Gulbenkian box office at boxoffice@ kent.ac.uk or on 01227 769075.
