ѿý Symphony Orchestra at Maida Vale
The ѿý Symphony Orchestra performs music by Bartok, Andrew Norman, Augusta Read Thomas and Jonathan Bailey Holland. Plus a work from young Latvian composer Jēkabs Jančevskis.
The ѿý Symphony Orchestra are at Maida Vale Studios for a concert of 20th and 21st-century music which includes one of Bartok's final orchestral works - his Viola Concerto, written for virtuoso viola player William Primrose. There are also three UK premieres of works by US composers Andrew Norman, Augusta Read Thomas and Jonathan Bailey Holland.
Following that concert, there's another visit to the 66th International Rostrum of Composers in Argentina, and a piece by the young Latvian composer Jēkabs Jančevskis - "When", written in 2018.
The programme ends with a recording made by violinist Guy Braunstein of one of Tchaikovsky's best-known miniatures for violin and orchestra.
