On 3 December 2026, The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh will host a programme featuring Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion & Celeste. Maxim Emelyanychev will lead the event as both conductor and pianist, highlighting the brilliance of strings and winds. Tickets are priced between £43 and £6.
Join us for a programme that revels in the brilliance of strings and winds, led by Maxim Emelyanychev in the dual role of conductor and pianist for this captivating evening. The concert begins with Schnittke’s Concerto for Piano and Strings, a work of striking contrasts: both playful and profoundly dramatic, it offers an unmissable showcase for Maxim’s artistry at the keyboard. At the heart of the programme lies Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, a 20th-century classic celebrated for its rhythmic vitality and haunting beauty. Bold textures and hypnotic interplay conjure an atmosphere that is both electrifying and mysterious. The evening concludes with Dvořák’s Serenade for Winds, a Romantic gem teeming with elegance and warmth.
