An NCPA Presentation

The magical music of Alexander Borodin

In this series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria takes listeners through musical concepts, the lives of composers and their famous works, interspersed with examples from recorded music. The first talk this month will cover three beloved works of Alexander Borodin: In the Steppes of Central Asia, a symphonic poem describing a caravan passing through the grasslands of Steppes; Notturno, the third movement of his String Quartet No. 2, which is thought to be a 20th anniversary present to his wife; and the ‘Polovtsian Dances’ from his unfinished opera Prince Igor.

Entry free on a first-come-first-served basis.
