Programme Note
An evening of Russian music by the Corinthian Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Paul Hoskins.
Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 is performed by young pianist Kate Whitley, described by The Times as typical of 'a generation tainted by nothing except enthusiasm, daring virtuosity and blazing idealism'.
The evening concludes with music from Stravinsky's first ballet score, The Firebird.
