Programme

Concert Information

An intoxicating blend of Ravel's sensuous G major concerto and Bernstein's roof-raising dances from West Side Story, spliced with two high-octane new American works. Gifted young conductor Joshua Weilerstein brings us Christopher Rouse's Rapture, a journey towards 'an ever more blinding ecstasy’ in the composer's words, and Quilting, by Bryce Dessner, founder member of rock band The National. Relish an opportunity to experience the inspired, immaculate artistry of pianist Francesco Piemontesi in Ravel's spellbinding concerto.
