BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

Programme:

Stravinsky - Symphony of Wind Instruments 9’
Kimmo Hakola - Violin Concerto **
Tobias Broström - Lucernaris Trumpet Concerto **
Stravinsky - Petrushka (1911 version) 35’

The BBC Philharmonic launch their celebration of the big three ballets of Stravinsky with Petrushka, the Russian composer’s colourful tale of love and death at a fairground. Closer to home, prepare to be amazed as Håkan Hardenberger, probably the world’s greatest trumpeter, joins conductor John Storgårds in a showpiece written specially for him, then swaps places to conduct while Storgårds plays a concerto written to display his own incredible violin playing. Hearing is believing.
