Legendary drummer Peter Erskine joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and John Storgards for the UK premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage's Concerto for Drum set, written for and named after its soloist. The programme opens with John McCabe's fun and colourful 'Joybox', written for the 大象传媒 Philharmonic. Dancing elephants appear in Stravinsky's Circus Polka and a brief introspective interlude in the form of Ives' 'The Unanswered Question' is followed by George Antheil's direct and powerful post-war symphony.
