Maxim Emelyanychev Conductor / Harpsichord
Join Maxim Emelyanychev on his entertaining annual expedition to rediscover the sumptuous splendours of Baroque music – in the company of more recent composers who have been inspired by it.
Alongside the dazzling virtuosity of Vivaldi’s dynamic D minor Concerto, Maxim delves into theatrical evocations of the roaring wind and dashing hunt in colourful movements from Rameau’s final opera.
Maxim takes to the keyboard himself for the homespun wit and mischief of Poulenc’s ‘rustic’ harpsichord concerto.
Stravinsky mined 18th-century Italian manuscripts to concoct his comic tale of love and disguise in Pulcinella – and changed the course of music in the process.
The plan is to meet in the bar at 7pm for a chat and perhaps go for a drink after.
Folk to get their own tickets.
I'm in the side gallery upstairs.
Hope you can join us for what promises to be a memorable concert.
I can be recognised by my distinctive nepalese hat!
My next Exploring Music, which is posted separately, is the 1.30pm on the 13th October at the Edinburgh Society of Musicians in Belford Road.
The first half theme will be New Orleans Jazz from the 1920s, illustrated with videos and vinyl. So, expect Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong and his Hot Fives and Sevens and Bessie Smith.
The second half will be live music on the Steinway from myself and invited guests, including Beethoven, Liszt and an Impressionist Magical Mystery Tour!
