Liya Petrova dazzles as she conquers Stravinsky’s famously ‘impossible’ Violin Concerto under the Ukrainian baton of Kirill Karabits. Revel in the glowing hues of Fyodor Akimenko’s rarely heard ‘Angel’. Finally, immerse yourself in the folk-infused vibrancy of Tchaikovsky’s ‘Little Russian’ Symphony.
Step into an evening where virtuosity and heritage converge. RPO Artist-in-Residence Liya Petrova, hailed as ‘Exquisite’ by The Guardian, commands the stage with Stravinsky’s Violin Concerto—infamous for its ‘impossible’ opening chord, rendered here with breathtaking finesse under the Ukrainian baton of guest conductor Kirill Karabits. Karabits then illuminates a rare gem: Angel by Ukrainian composer Fyodor Akimenko, its lush harmonies and vivid orchestral colours painting a sonic landscape seldom heard in Britain. The concert concludes with Tchaikovsky’s spirited Symphony No. 2, the ‘Little Russian’, transforming cherished folk melodies into a tapestry of dance-like rhythms and profound emotion. Priority booking opens for RPO members on 24 April, with tickets available to the public from 28 April. Experience a night of unrivalled mastery, cultural resonance and contagious musical magic.
