Set List'Ouverture de feerie' from Shéhérazade, Ravel,
'Hive’, S Beamish
INTERVAL
'Scheherazade’, Rimsky-Korsakov
Performance NotesThe legend of Scheherazade and her bewitching stories from One Thousand and One Nights are vividly captured in both Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestral suite – a dazzling musical portrait of the East, full of shipwrecks, love scenes and crowded bazaars – and Ravel’s sensually beautiful overture, written for a never-completed opera.

BBC co-commission and world premiere of 'Hive' by Sally Beamish.

We’re in more familiar landscapes in Sally Beamish’s Hive, which traces the life of a beehive across four seasons, starting with the gentle stir and shimmer of winter and climaxing in the swarms, dances and battles of summer. Award-winning Welsh harpist Catrin Finch is the soloist in this world-premiere.
