Description

Important: This listing is for a voucher, not a ticket. The voucher allows you to purchase a ticket through a third-party website. You must buy the voucher first and then complete a separate ticket purchase. Additional fees may apply (see details in the pricing information section below).

The Concert
A world premiere concerto from one of Britain’s finest composers, folk-inspired celebration of dance by Bartók, plus Rachmaninoff’s late and great orchestral showstopper.

The Music
Bartók’s Dance Suite weaves together folk-inspired melodies and restless rhythms, creating a vibrant, kaleidoscopic celebration of dance that bridges cultures with electrifying energy.

Here’s a rare chance to hear a major world premiere by one of modern music’s great conjuror of musical worlds, Colin Matthews. We also hear Rachmaninoff’s last major orchestral work, a suite of dances that sounds both entirely modern, but which still bears all the hallmarks of this supremely melodic composer.
