Franck Ollu (conductor)
French conductor Franck Ollu makes his Proms debut, directing the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group in the first of two concerts celebrating composer Pierre Boulez's 90th-birthday year. Boulez's own Notations - written while he was still a student - sits alongside his D茅rive 2, both works embedded in the 'family tree' of a composer whose works interconnect in ever-evolving ways.
The concert also features Wanderlied for cello and ensemble by Boulez's French-American contemporary Betsy Jolas, as well as music by two young composers new to the Proms: Shiori Usui and Joanna Lee, who writes for contralto Hilary Summers.
This Prom will be repeated on Wednesday 29th July at 2pm.
