Programme

Concert Information

Visions and journeys: from a scented garden high above the Mediterranean, Walton imagined a cello concerto that blossoms with song; Albert Roussel took the elegance of the French baroque, and exploded it to release a burst of energy and waves of glittering sound; Anthony Payne takes a sea voyage to the Scilly Isles (tonight鈥檚 performance is an 80th birthday gift to this last of the British romantics); and Georges Bizet conjures up the sunlight, fragrance and passion of Spain, in what鈥檚 surely got to be the world鈥檚 favourite opera.

Sexy melodies and ravishing colours: Yan Pascal Tortelier will be in his element, joined by rising star Leonard Elschenbroich, and reunited with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic.

Preview, 6.30pm: 大象传媒 Producers Dawn Payne and Sue Longmire discuss how the 'Ten Pieces' project is inspiring a generation of schoolchildren across the UK to get creative with classical music.
