Experience the artistry of Edinburgh-born guitarist Sean Shibe as he premieres the brand-new electric guitar concerto by composer David Fennessy. Expect the unexpected at the beating heart of a concert that begins with Ravel dancing on a volcano and ends with Stravinsky’s explosive The Rite of Spring - the ballet that started a riot.
