Opening with dark, almost threatening music, and ending with an effervescent, glittery finale. A piece to blow away the cobwebs. A tribute to Mozart, Tchaikovsky’s Rococo variations sees an amiable tune transformed time after time, culminating in a thrilling finale. To start we have ‘Con Bio’ (‘with panache’) – inspired by Beethoven but as if that Beethoven had been put through a mincer, emerging in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways… an intriguing and entertaining start to your evening.
