An NCPA Presentation

Borodin Symphony No. 2

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 is about Alexander Borodin’s Symphony No. 2, a colourful work of four movements by the Russian composer, who was also a distinguished chemist. Eschewing sharp conflict or dramatic development of themes, the symphony rather unfolds as a series of great frescoes, a calm succession of epic pictures.

Entry free on a first come, first served basis.
