成人快手 Symphony Orchestra
The 成人快手 SO kick off a weekend of discovery and innovation from the 成人快手 orchestras and choirs with music by Anna Meredith, Harrison Birtwistle, Elizabeth Maconchy and Walton.
The first of the weekend's programmes features the oldest of the 成人快手 orchestras in its 90th anniversary season, reflecting both its wide-ranging and diverse repertoire and pivotal role at the 成人快手 Proms.
Two big choral works featuring large orchestra and extra brass bookend the programme. Anna Meredith's spectacular opener to the 2018 成人快手 Proms, which movingly sets soldiers' messages from the WWI front line and Walton's biblical epic, very much a 成人快手 SO calling card, paints the fall of Babylon in irresistible, lurid Technicolor. In between, two composers with a long 成人快手 SO associations, Harrison Birtwistle and Elizabeth Maconchy.
