About This Event

Viennese orchestral playing is a byword for excellence, rooted in generations of tradition. But under its distinguished (and adventurous) American Music Director Marin Alsop, the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra takes that tradition as a starting point to look outwards 鈥� to explore. Bart贸k鈥檚 bloodcurdling ballet suite prepares the way for Prokofiev鈥檚 Third Piano Concerto: energising, unsentimental brilliance, brought to life by former 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Benjamin Grosvenor. And then, two very different facets of the Central European tradition: the windswept drama and dancing Bohemian melodies of Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 magnificent Seventh Symphony, and the UK premiere of Heliosis 鈥� written specially for Alsop and the Vienna RSO by a young Viennese composer with a flair for drama.
