Join the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Symphony Orchestra and conductor Duncan Ward at the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV’s iconic Maida Vale Studios for an afternoon of 20th-century orchestral music by three very different composers. Written in 1912, Turina’s La procession del Rocio was inspired by the annual religious tradition that takes place in Seville, the composer’s hometown. Tenor Robin Tritschler joins the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV SO for Britten’s Les illuminations, an orchestral song cycle with texts by Arthur Rimbaud and first performed in 1940. Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements, completed in 1945 and considered his first major orchestral composition after relocating to the USA, ends this exciting programme.
This concert will be recorded for future broadcast on Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Radio 3.
