Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the first concert of his final season as the Philharmonia's Principal Conductor and Artistic Adviser. In a typically enticing programme, Salonen contrasts Ravel's refined depiction of innocent childhood and fairy tale with the darker, dreamlike world of Britten's Les illuminations. Britten's brilliant settings of Arthur Rimbaud's cryptic and sometimes obscure poetry are sung by American soprano Julia Bullock, who tonight makes her Royal Festival Hall debut, having already performed Les illuminations with Salonen in the US to great acclaim.

Introduced live from the Royal Festival Hall by Ian Skelly as part of Southbank Centre鈥檚 Inside Out season.

8.45: The National Youth Orchestra presents a Mighty River of music at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

Over lockdown, the young musicians of the NYO immersed themselves in the context and history of music by Black composers, and researched music by a wider range of compositional voices to share with others. Last week, a small group came together at the Festival Hall to play Mighty River by Errollyn Wallen, and a selection of music they have learnt and loved over lockdown. The programme includes:

Amazing Grace, sung by Jermaine Jackman (arranged for 8 string players)
Deep River (arranged for 8 string players)
Jessie Montgomery: Starburst for string ensemble
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: Intermezzo (arranged for brass quartet)
Mason Bynes: Hades (for double bass and piano)
Adolphus Hailstork: Flute Set - first movement (solo flute)
Florence Price: String Quartet in G major - second movement
Errollyn Wallen: Mighty River, conducted by Kwam茅 Ryan.

Concert recorded at the Royal Festival Hall on 24th October.
