Programme

Concert information

In music, there鈥檚 more than one way to tell a story. Quiet piano chords launch Rachmaninov鈥檚 Second Piano Concerto, the perfect symbol for a composer summoning the creative confidence to write the most popular piano concerto of the 20th century. Rimsky-Korsakov is more forthright: instruments actually become characters in his hugely popular Arabian Nights fantasy 鈥 though if anyone can uncover the secrets behind the glitter, it鈥檚 Ilan Volkov. And Edmund Finnis? We can鈥檛 say yet: we simply know that it鈥檚 worth hearing any story that this 鈥渃ompelling鈥 (The Daily Telegraph) young British composer has to tell.

CHANGE OF ARTIST: Steven Osborne replaces Yevgeny Sudbin who is unwell.

Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
In conversation, Edmund Finnis introduces his shortly to be performed new work and talks about his life as a composer.

The main concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
