We鈥檙e delighted to welcome back one of Britain鈥檚 most exciting young composer-conductors, Ryan Wigglesworth, to conduct the UK premiere of his new work. Praised for 鈥榟is conjurer鈥檚 ability to cast a spell鈥�, his iridescent music is intricately woven, with a strongly lyric impetus. Orchestral manoeuvres of a different kind are to be found in the mischievous Mauricio Kagel鈥檚 orchestral Studies (1992鈥�6), where by witty sleights-of-hand the music turns on a dime from charm to snarling menace. Between the two, one of our brightest young sopranos, Sophie Bevan, joins the orchestra to sing Strauss鈥檚 voluptuous songs. 鈥楤evan is pure sunshine: like the legendary Elisabeth Schumann, she sings for joy.鈥� (Daily Telegraph) 卢卢

Please note there has been a change to the programme originally advertised.
