ABOUT THE CONCERT

Experience the intoxicating sounds of France in this vibrant evening of  colour, drama, and romance. 

The concert opens with Ravel’s ever-mesmerising Bolero, a hypnotic crescendo that builds from a whisper to a blazing finale. Pianist Konstantin Shamray then takes centre stage in Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1, a work full of youthful brilliance, lyrical poetry, and dazzling virtuosity. After interval, the music turns to the dreamlike impressionism of Debussy’s La Mer, whose shimmering harmonies capture the beauty of shifting light and water. The evening concludes with the fiery passion of Bizet’s Carmen Suite, bringing the world of the famous opera vividly to life through irresistible rhythms and unforgettable melodies. 

A concert overflowing with elegance, sensuality, and French flair.
