What do you do after you've conquered every peak of the violin repertory? In Maxim Vengerov's case you take a sabbatical, learn to tango, study some jazz and improvisation on electric violin and work on a unique concerto that combines the two with solo viola.

Following Morton Gould's Tap Dance Concerto over 50 years ago, the dazzling Vengerov brings the hybrid concerto into the 21st century, with a distinctly Latin-American flavour.

The concert will take place on 18 Aug 2007 10:15 PM, at Royal Albert Hall, London. Tickets are £7-£36.
