A rare chance to hear the mesmerising virtuosity of one of the world’s leading Indian classical musicians paired with Rimsky-Korsakov’s exuberantly colourful and much-loved dramatic masterpiece at Ripon Cathedral.
Join St Cecilia Orchestra, under guest conductor Gary Matthewman, for a spectacular concert bringing together the traditions of Western and Indian classical music. Renowned Leeds sitar player and composer, Jasdeep Singh Degun, joins the orchestra in a performance of his own sitar concerto, Arya, and the beautiful Lament for Sitar, Tabla and Strings.
The second half of the concert takes us to Persia, with Rimsky-Korsakov’s musical retelling of the stories of Scheherazade: an exhilarating journey of love, intrigue and adventure.
Adults £20/£28/£35; Under 18s FREE.
Tickets for all seats are available online from Ticketsource. Tickets for unreserved seats are also available from the Little Ripon Bookshop and Harrogate Theatre.
