Seen from afar
Music taking us beyond cultural boundaries with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra and conductor Bramwell Tovey, plus a new work from Composer-in-Residence Dobrinka Tabakova.
Georgia Mann presents a concert recorded last Thursday at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London featuring a new work by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ CO's composer-in-residence, Dobrinka Tabakova. There's also a piece by Tan Dun which melds ancient Chinese instruments, a modern orchestra and smartphones, and a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ commission from 2018 Senior Category Proms Inspire winner Alexia Sloane. Copland's popular Clarinet Concerto is placed in an international context and the principal percussionist of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ CO joins forces with his transatlantic opposite number from the Philadelphia Orchestra for a reworking of music by Pat Metheny.
