Concert Information

鈥淲ee-Awk-Eee!鈥 On the streets of 30s New York, that鈥檚 what the kids yelled when there was about to be some serious fun. And that鈥檚 how William Schuman opens his American Festival Overture: the first thing you鈥檒l hear in a concert crammed with action.

US keyboard legend Garrick Ohlsson wrangles the raw energy of Barber鈥檚 Piano Concerto and Juanjo Mena and the 成人快手 Phil wander the nocturnal streets of Aaron Copland鈥檚 urban jungle: music by composers whom Leonard Bernstein knew intimately.

And then, we leap the Atlantic to Imperial Russia and the evil gnomes, flying witches and dancing chickens of Mussorgsky鈥檚 fantastic musical picture gallery. Hearing is believing: Ravel鈥檚 hugely popular orchestral version simply lights up the sky.

Journey Through Music, 6.30pm: An introduction to tonight's concert especially for families. Further details can be found at bbc.co.uk/philharmonic.
