The glittering, pulsing soundscapes of John Adams’s Harmonium take center stage in this program, showcasing the motoric energy of Minimalism alongside its architectural richness. Commissioned by the BBC in 1947, Poulenc’s Sinfonietta offers a playful, witty riff on the traditional symphony. The mood continues with Poulenc's joyful, Mozart-inspired Concerto for two pianos. Dutch siblings Lucas and Arthur Jussen make their Proms debut for this performance, joined by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Music Director Kazuki Yamada.
