Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: Alsop Conducts Scheherazade

April 18, 2025 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Marin Alsop, conductor
Gabriela Montero, piano

The One Thousand and One Nights are a series of fables within a singular overarching fable, that of the royal bride Scheherazade’s gambit for survival by spinning scores of tales to keep her cruel Bluebeard of a husband at bay. Her name has become synonymous with the telling of folklore, but Scheherazade finds her match in one of the masters of the retold fairy tale, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The great Russian composer’s symphonic suite takes the titular Persian storyteller as both inspiration and muse for among the most colorful, invigorating, beloved and fantastical works of the classical canon. Led by special guest conductor Marin Alsop, Music Director of the National Orchestral Institute + Festival, Scheherezade will be performed by one of the classical world’s most respected ensembles and one of Maryland’s most significant cultural institutions: the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO). The BSO is internationally renowned and locally admired for its performances, recordings and community and educational initiatives.
