CBSO: Romeo & Juliet

Wed 15 Jan 2025 View Venues, Dates & Times

In a programme designed to celebrate the rich heritage of Ukrainian musicians, Reinhold Glière’s Concerto For Coloratura Soprano & Orchestra - here performed by Jennifer France - is sandwiched between two colourful treatments of Romeo And Juliet. The first of these is by Borys Lyatoshinsky, who studied with the aforementioned Glière, who taught the composer of the evening’s second Romeo And Juliet: Sergei Prokofiev. Kyiv-born Kirill Karabits (pictured) conducts.
