A fascinating programme of musical exploration, for an audience of all ages.
Sink into the sublime as 19 BSO musicians serenade you with Tchaikovsky’s string masterpiece. A poised and sedate piece that lies at the heart of this musical tapestry.
Take a musical tour beginning along the Mediterranean coastline with Jenkins’ beloved Palladio, inspired by the 16th century Italian architect from whom the piece get its name. Then journey east with Bartok’s Romanian Folk Dances and Skyork’s beguiling Ukrainian Melody, before Holst pays homage to British folk song with his charming St. Paul’s Suite.
Across the continent and through time, we travel further still. Into a galaxy of rapidly changing musical colours, exploding gestures and fleeting melodies that create the wondrous soundscape of Jessie Montgomery’s Starburst. A kind and inquisitive composition, Gershwin’s ethereal Lullaby continues our journey further and further away in a concert designed for all ages.
