May 2023 Concert
One of the fastest rising stars in the violin world, Indian-American Maya Anjali Buchanan, makes her belated ESO debut in the dazzling and difficult concerto by Tchaikovsky. The concert opens with a rousing French showpiece, Berlioz’ Roman Carnival Overture, and concludes with Mussorgsky’s monumental Pictures at an Exhibition in its resplendent orchestration by the Frenchman Maurice Ravel. The last of Mussorgsky’s pictures provides one of the ultimate climaxes in music—the “Great Gate of Kiev.”
