RUSSIAN CLASSICS
February 2026
Some of the most deeply felt music ever written was born in the hearts of three extraordinary composers – Shostakovich, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky. Their music speaks not of place, but of people: of emotion, imagination and the strength of the human spirit.
Russian Classics celebrates these composers’ artistry and individuality, their courage, wit, and sensitivity and the enduring emotion they bring to audiences across the world.
The concert begins with Shostakovich’s Overture on Russian and Kirghiz Folk Themes, a lively celebration of friendship and shared musical heritage. Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite transforms the elegance of the eighteenth century into something fresh and playful, while Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.5 brings the evening to a triumphant close
Together, these works reveal the essence of human expression from tenderness to triumph, from introspection to joy. They remind us that behind every composition lies the story of a person, not a place, and that music remains our most universal language.
Russian Classics is a celebration of creativity, emotion and resilience, an evening that honours the artists whose music continues to move hearts around the world.
