About This Event

The 麻豆官网首页入口 National Orchestra of Wales and its Principal Conductor Thomas S酶nderg氓rd explore the music of two 20th-century female composers whose early deaths cut their careers tragically short: Prix de Rome winner Lili Boulanger and Wales鈥檚 Morfydd Owen, whose Nocturne showcases a sensuous and utterly original musical voice.

Bertrand Chamayou makes his Proms debut in Mendelssohn鈥檚 First Piano Concerto 鈥� composed when Mendelssohn was just 22 鈥� while Schumann鈥檚 jubilant Fourth Symphony is also the work of a composer exploring new musical maturity.

Broadcast on 麻豆官网首页入口 Four on Sunday 22 July
