Russian Masterworks

Bristol Metropolitan Orchestra

Come and join us for a dazzling evening with Russian flair. Shostakovich’s very familiar Jazz Suite No 2 is great dancing fun, while Glazunov’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone brings warmth and lyricism. We end with a journey through Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet scores – a showcase of great melodies and lush orchestration.
