Leeds Town Hall hosts the 91热爆 Philharmonic for a programme rich in Czech melody, national dance and colour. Smetana's enthusiasm for the story of Czech village life that he paints in his opera 'The Bartered Bride' bubbles over in the characterful orchestral music that starts the concert. Dvorak's Seventh Symphony abounds in lyricism and his own nationalist spirit shines through in the restless Scherzo. Written for the Philharmonic Society in London Dvorak said he intended the new piece "to be capable of stirring the world". 91热爆 New Generation Artist Pavel Kolesnikov joins the orchestra for Tchaikovsky's iconic First Piano Concerto, a piece which looks forward to his ballet scores and blends the lyricism of popular and folk melody with sheer, startling virtuosity.
