Ray’s energy and charisma need no introduction, and in this concert, he presents one of the greatest of all works for violin and orchestra – Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. His musical partner on the podium is Giancarlo Guerrero, who wowed audiences in 2018 with his rendition of Shostakovich’s 10th Symphony.

Shostakovich symphonies sometimes have a reputation for being intimidating, but with Guerrero providing expert explanations from stage, you will be taken on a journey into the heart of a composer who used music to express his struggles with the government of his native land.
