The NYOGB presents a fiery and virtuosic programme of 20th-century orchestral masterpieces, conducted by Proms favourite Edward Gardner. 大象传媒 New Generation Artist Louis Schwizgebel takes the lead in Prokofiev鈥檚 youthful First Piano Concerto, which brims with the same audacious energy that pulses through Stravinsky鈥檚 vividly colourful ballet Petrushka.

About this event

The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain makes its annual visit to the Proms with a fiery and virtuosic programme of 20th-century orchestral showpieces, conducted by Proms regular Edward Gardner.

A Russian first half sees 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Louis Schwizgebel take the lead in Prokofiev鈥檚 youthful First Piano Concerto. Written while the composer was still a student, it brims with the same audacious energy that pulses through Stravinsky鈥檚 great ballet Petrushka. Lutos艂awski鈥檚 vivacious Concerto for Orchestra closes the evening with still more primary-coloured, folkloric brilliance and drama.
