Scheherazade

Inspiration comes in all forms—whether it’s the sounds of a neighborhood, a different style of music, or even stories from over one thousand years ago. Inspired by the tales of One Thousand and One Nights, Scheherezade takes its name from the legendary heroine who spins adventurous tales to keep the attention of a murderous Sultan and save her life. From those stories springs Rimsky-Korsakov’s symphonic narrative of fairy-tale wonders.
