Afternoon Performance: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1
14:00
Sun 18 May 2025
Glasgow City Halls
The orchestra throws down a challenge, and the piano strides forward with one of the grandest tunes Tchaikovsky ever wrote. Seabirds wheel and soar, and jet-streams trace fabulous patterns across the blue Pacific sky. And in the silence of dawn, a young artist walks out on a lifelong voyage: a tale of struggle and joy, turmoil and triumph. Three very different composers, and three different openings 鈥 but each one is just the start of an adventure, told today by the 麻豆约拍 SSO and conductor Tito Mu帽oz, who created such a buzz at City Halls in 2022. Pianist Alim Beisembayev is the soloist; this 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition winner has been described as 鈥減ositively luminous鈥.
