Dynamic conductor-pianist Maxim Emelyanychev leads from both podium and keyboard, beginning with the vibrant chaos of Jay Capperauld’s The Origin of Colour and Mozart’s stormy Piano Concerto No. 20. The program culminates in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade , a symphonic suite inspired by the epic tale One Thousand and One Nights , its beguiling violin “storyteller” unfurling tales of danger and desire.
