When different musical cultures meet, a new kind of harmony is born. 鈥淢esmerising鈥� was how one critic described the new Triple Concerto by Zakir Hussain when Alpesh Chauhan conducted its first British performances in 2023, and today the composer himself is among the soloists in a piece which, he says, tells a tale of love, tradition and the transforming power of art. It鈥檚 perfect for Chauhan, a conductor with a real flair for finding the heart and soul of a piece of music, and he follows it with two dark fairytales from Romantic Russia 鈥� Rachmaninov鈥檚 surprisingly passionate journey into night, and Stravinsky鈥檚 exhilarating Firebird. Those glowing melodies, those dazzling cascades of colour鈥�they鈥檒l burn even more brightly tonight.
