Alexander Malofeev plays Prokofiev, and Hannu Lintu conducts the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra in colourful showpieces by Adams and Stravinsky 鈥� plus a Bernard Rands world premiere.

It's all about colour, as three master-entertainers put on a show. The young Prokofiev dazzles the crowds in jazz-age Europe; Stravinsky鈥檚 nightingale spins a fabulous song and John Adams makes supercharged mischief with the most basic elements of western music. First, though, a major new statement from a living master: the world premiere of Bernard Rands鈥檚 Symphonic Fantasy.

Coming from an artist of Rands鈥檚 stature, that鈥檇 be enough in itself to make this concert a special occasion: a powerful tribute to Sibelius from a composer with a voice that鈥檚 entirely his own. That calls for sonic fireworks: and with the phenomenal Alexander Malofeev at the piano, and conductor Hannu Lintu making a very welcome return, Prokofiev鈥檚 Third Piano Concerto should light up the sky.

Tickets on general sale from 29 September.
