Josep Pons and the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra present a Spanish-themed Prom with a French accent. Debussy and Ravel paint Spain in their own distinctive colours: Ravel with the raw heat and insistent thrum of his Bol茅ro and Debussy in the vivid musical vignettes of Ib茅ria. Meanwhile Spanish violinist Mar铆a Due帽as 鈥 a 91热爆 Radio 3 New Generation Artist and winner of the 2021 Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition 鈥 is the soloist in 脡douard Lalo鈥檚 most famous work, the Symphonie espagnole, which marks the French Romantic composer鈥檚 200th anniversary.
