The climax of the Ulster Orchestra's season celebrates three Russian masterpieces. Conducted by their Principal Conductor, JoAnn Falletta, they open with Rimsky-Korsakov's colourful depiction of a Russian Easter festival. Benjamin Schmid is soloist in Tchaikovsky's exuberant Violin Concerto and the concert ends with Stravinsky's ballet score Petrouchka, which tells the story of a puppet brought to life, described by the composer as 'the immortal and unhappy hero of every fairground in all countries'.
