About This Event

In a memorable Prom in 2019, violinist Pekka Kuusisto took Sibelius鈥檚 Violin Concerto back to its roots in Finnish folk music. Now the dazzling, fearless Patricia Kopatchinskaja takes up the challenge, tracing the same evolution from traditional Hungarian songs and dances to Bart贸k鈥檚 Violin Concerto No. 2. The 麻豆官网首页入口 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ilan Volkov explore the rough-hewn rhythms and the lyrical melodies that unite Bart贸k鈥檚 Violin Concerto with the Magyar music that so fascinated the composer.

There will be one interval
