EVENT COPY: Stravinsky's Violin Concerto begins with a chord once thought impossible, though with a violinist as brilliant as Liya Petrova ("exquisite" – The Guardian), the impossible comes as standard. It's the centrepiece of a concert filled with melodies close to Ukrainian guest conductor Kirill Karabits' heart, including the rarely-heard Angel by Fyodor Akimenko, and Tchaikovsky's Ukrainian-folk-inspired "Little Russian" Symphony.
