Our final symphonic concert this season brings some of the greatest music storytelling ever - Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s epic work, Scheherazade.

In the story from the Arabian Nights, the Sultan is furious at his wife’s infidelity and decides to take a new wife every day, then have her killed the next morning.

He did not reckon with the will of Scheherazade!

- Each night, she spins tales of intrigue, suspense, and fascination.
- Each morning, the Sultan stays her execution so he can hear another tale that evening.
- After 1,001 nights of well-told tales, the Sultan relents and Scheherazade is saved.
