Christian Karlsen conducts Stravinsky & Shostakovich
The BBC Symphony Orchestra summons the spirit of Orpheus in a performance featuring music by Gluck, Stravinsky, and Missy Mazzoli. The program explores the ancient myth of song and dance, showcasing ballet music that spans four centuries. The evening journey includes Stravinsky's theatrical works and Missy Mazzoli's contemporary reimagining of the Orpheus legend. Renowned pianist Simon Trpčeski joins the ensemble for a performance of Shostakovich's beloved Piano Concerto No. 2, a piece written for the composer's son that has inspired numerous ballets.
