“Experience the ‘electric atmosphere’ of a performance by the Chineke! Orchestra – Europe’s first minority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra. Conducted for the first time by Sir Simon Rattle, together they perform Shostakovich’s 10th Symphony: over 50 minutes of brutality, violence, despair and terror, followed by two minutes of triumph. A portrait of life – and death – in Stalin’s Russia, it’s a fierce act of musical testimony.

Bearing witness is also central to Pulitzer-winner George Walker’s Sinfonia No. 5, a work ‘suffused with anger’, raging against the 2015 Charleston church massacre. The Prom opens with the steady thrum of Coleridge-Taylor’s orchestral dance The Bamboula.”

“From the primal, hypnotic dances of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to the sensual throb of Ravel’s Boléro and the edgy thrum and twitch of Varèse’s Intégrales, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Eva Ollikainen get the musical pulse racing.

They’re joined by ‘stupendous’ German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser for the UK premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Before we fall – a work that teeters on the edge of ‘a multitude of opposites’, torn between lyricism and distorted energy. “

“Praised for their ‘immaculate precision and spirit’ (The Strad) and ‘cultured tone’ (The Arts Desk), the Solem Quartet has established itself as one of the most innovative and adventurous quartets of its generation. A 2020 awardee of the Jerwood Arts Live Work Fund, one of 33 artists selected from more than 1200 applicants, the Solem Quartet takes its place amongst some of the UK’s brightest artistic voices.

Following pieces by the remarkable Boulanger sisters, they play a work by the American composer, singer and choreographer Meredith Monk, and Debussy’s exploratory early string quartet.”

“Two giant musical voices of the late twentieth century meet in this this concert. Solem Quartet perform Steve Reich’s iconic Different Trains, and vocalist Alice Zawadzki joins them for songs by Kate Bush, newly arranged for string quartet and voice. The set will also feature some of Alice’s exquisite compositions.”
