Soi Autumn 2023: Hussain & Tchaikovsky: Triple Concerto Hussain (+1 More)

Public

Triple Concerto

Symphony No. 5

Approved

The concerts by the SOI feature the world premiere performances of a new triple concerto for sitar, bansuri, and tabla, composed by the renowned Zakir Hussain. Hussain is also featured as the tabla soloist, alongside Niladri Kumar on sitar and Rakesh Chaurasia on bansuri.

Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony forms the other half of this programme. Tchaikovsky is arguably the most popular Russian composer of all time. His music holds great appeal through its tuneful, open-hearted melodies, impressive harmonies, and colourful, picturesque orchestration, all of which evoke a profound emotional response from the listener. All this holds true in his Fifth Symphony, and despite a muted response at its premier, it stands today as one of his best-loved creations.
Alpesh Chauhan, the rising star British conductor of Indian descent, conducts what is sure to be a memorable concert.
