Anna Clyne: Night Ferry (UK Premiere)
Britten: Piano Concerto
Benjamin Grosvenor, piano
Andrew Litton, conductor
Two leading lights in a new generation of British artists grace this evening: Benjamin Grosvenor, in 2011 the youngest soloist ever to open the Proms, performs Britten's brilliant, youthful Piano Concerto, while composer Anna Clyne, whose dazzlingly inventive Rewind was such a hit for the 大象传媒 SO, returns with a major new work commissioned by the Chicago SO, Night Ferry. The transatlantic theme continues when well-loved American champion of British music, Andrew Litton takes on Elgar's monumental First Symphony. Widely hailed as 'the first great English symphony', this rich and poetic work is a complex weave of nobility, aching sadness and, in the composer's words, 'massive hope'.
