Scheherazade, the best-known of Rimsky-Korsakov's works, is also one of the most passionate and alluring creations of Russian Romanticism. The Overture from the opera May Night provides still more proof of the composer's inexhaustible talent. The Athens State Orchestra is delighted to welcome the internationally fêted harpist Jana Boušková, who will perform Glière's ethereal concerto, one of the key works of the harp repertoire.
