Spartacus

After the lights have dimmed, fans of the 1970s TV series The Onedin Line will feel the shivers of nostalgia from the swaying ballet music of Aram Khachaturian. The Armenian first half of the concert is completed with the glimmer of stardust, when the brilliant Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth arrives as the soloist for Alexander Arutiunian's concerto. Finally, we return to the water, to the tune of Claude Debussy's seascapes.
