About This Event

The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain return to conjure a series of vivid worlds, both real and imagined.

The sea roars and shimmers in Debussy鈥檚 La mer, Mussorgsky paints eerie visions of a Witches鈥� Sabbath, while Ligeti鈥檚 Lontano summons the 鈥榙ream worlds of childhood鈥�.

Ravel鈥檚 brooding Concerto for the Left Hand was commissioned by a pianist who lost an arm in the First World War.
