Earthy, pagan dances meet the Music of the Spheres in this concert of 20th- and 21st-century orchestral works. Stravinsky鈥檚 infamous ballet score The Rite of Spring pulses with rhythmic energy and urgency, while Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir鈥檚 luminous and intricately textured Metacosmos travels deep into space. At the centre of the programme is Britten鈥檚 elegiac Violin Concerto, written on the cusp of the Second World War. Violinist James Ehnes joins Edward Gardner and musicians from both London鈥檚 Royal Academy of Music and New York鈥檚 Juilliard School.
