Resuming his brilliant career as a violinist after a few years' absence, Maxim Vengerov brings all his trademark ardour to a kaleidoscopic programme from his Russian homeland. He sets Tchaikovsky's concerto afire, then conducts and plays the ravishing solos in Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, an exotically coloured, melodious treasure chest of fairy tales from the Arabian Nights.

The TSO goes late night with a dynamite concert of Russian fireworks! Pianist Yuja Wang dazzles in Rachmaninoff's dazzling Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. The excitement continues with Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, an exotically coloured, melodious treasure chest of fairy tales from the Arabian Nights.
