Dinuk Wijeratne’s Tabla Concerto has been described as a vibrant and colourful work that audiences will never forget. His seamless blending of musical traditions reminds us that we have so much more in common and that music truly does bring us together. We then dive into the lush intoxicating world of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade!
