Unsuk Chin: Mannequin (world premiere)
Bart贸k: Concerto for Orchestra

Orchestral music is the voice of the people! The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain goes on campaign under eclectic international conductor Ilan Volkov.

Bart贸k's popular 'Concerto for Orchestra' is a cathedral of sound, shape, melody and emotion, each family of instruments taking equal prominence.

Percy Grainger embraced the world's great traditions of communal music making and 'The Warriors' is his most ambitious work, a helter-skelter of swift, bright, tuneful energy, lustful invention and rhythmic drive.

South Korean Unsuk Chin sees no boundaries between musical cultures, prizing communication above all. Commissioned to explore the unique teenage orchestral energy of the National Youth Orchestra, Mannequin is her latest original work, and this performance is its world premi猫re!
