A dramatic and evocative programme on tour in Bristol, with Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano.
Phoenix Rising is one of Thea Musgrave’s most electrifying and adventurous scores, blazing an incandescent trail at the start of this concert of British music.
We then hear Walton’s Viola Concerto, a work of introspection and playful abandon, played here by LSO Spotlight Artist, Antoine Tamestit.
Finally, we enjoy the sights, sounds and spirit of London in Vaughan Williams’ atmospheric portrait of the city.
