Part of Perth Concert Series 2019/20

Smetana Overture, The Bartered Bride
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
Dohnányi Symphony No 1

Gergely Madaras, conductor
Karen Gomyo, violin

Discover the world of Hungarian composer Erno von Dohnányi - the missing link between Romantic Vienna and the fiery sounds of Bartók and Kodály. His first symphony is something of a passion for our Hungarian guest conductor Gergely Madaras; and its moody fin-de-siècle atmosphere offers a lush contrast to Tchaikovsky’s sunlit Violin Concerto - a work that can’t quite decide whether to sing or to dance, and ends up doing both in the most tuneful way imaginable.

The ‘barnstorming’ (The Daily Telegraph) Karen Gomyo should light up the sky - and we begin in rural Bohemia, with the ebullient overture to the funniest of all Czech operas.

£29.50, £26.50, £23.50, £19.50, £14.50 (inc £1.50 booking fee per ticket); under 26s/students/Young Scot £6; 18 and under go FREE (under 16s to be accompanied by an adult)

Pre-concert talk: 6.45pm
Conductor Gergely Madaras discusses tonight's concert and their musical passions.
