Carlos Miguel Prieto conductor
The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain are celebrating the theme of 鈥極pen Up鈥� - the idea being to open up new perspectives, form new relationships, and disperse preconceptions about music and musicians. Tonight鈥檚 theme is 鈥楻unning Riot鈥�, and Carlos Miguel Prieto conducts a programme that ends with Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, the piece which came out of nowhere to catapult music into the 20th century, not adhering to any tradition, and exploring the cycles of nature that in the end connect everyone. The Rite takes up the second part of this concert, and before it comes music by two innovative composers working right now, Dinuk Wijeratne and Gabriela Ortiz, who are exploring difference and diversity, transcending barriers and finding human connection through music. Sandeep Das will be the tabla soloist in Wijeratne鈥檚 tabla concerto, and he says it鈥檚 鈥榮imply the best Western Classical piece written for my instrument.鈥�
Concert recorded on 23rd April at the Royal Festival Hall, London.
