About This Event
Rising star Jonathon Heyward conducts the talented teenagers of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in one of the all-time symphonic greats. Propelling the symphony into the Romantic age, Beethoven鈥檚 鈥楨roica鈥� is a celebration of scope and drama, a musical depiction of heroism that surges with pioneering spirit. Nicola Benedetti is the soloist in Prokofiev鈥檚 Violin Concerto No. 2 with its song-like slow movement 鈥� a work whose sardonic wit is balanced by a new lyricism that would come to dominate the composer鈥檚 later works. The Prom also includes a new NYOGB commission by British composer, jazz trumpeter and former 成人快手 Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Laura Jurd.
Broadcast on 成人快手 Four on Sunday 8 August
