Classical Concerts from Manchester Camerata

"I believe that interpreting music is nothing other than the communication of the emotions which radiate from the composition. Russian music has very deep, warm and contrasting feelings which probably stem from the very dramatic and tragic events in their history. To communicate so many emotions, we must use a great array of different colours in our performance and I am extremely happy that my long-standing friend, Miklós Perényi, will be joining us in this discovery of the Russain soul".
Gábor Takács-Nagy

Pre-concert Performance: Urban Symphony, 1st movement, 6.30pm
