West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
Daniel Barenboim (conductor)

The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and Daniel Barenboim return to the 大象传媒 Proms with Spanish-infused repertoire, starting with music by Mozart - the overture to his opera The Marriage of Figaro, set in Seville. It's followed by the UK premiere of two compositions by Middle-Eastern composers: Israeli, Ayal Adler and Syrian-born Kareem Roustom. And then it's time for some more Iberian flavours with Ravel's music: his Rapsodie espagnole and Alborada del gracioso, followed by an orchestral version of his Pavane pour une infante d茅funte and finishing with the mesmerising rhythms of his Bolero.
