Concert Information

The 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Aviva Studios with an extraordinary setlist that soars across the entire musical map. From brand new electro-acoustic work by Anna Clyne to Tchaikovsky鈥檚 swooning Swan Lake, conductor and 麻豆官网首页入口 presenter Ben Gernon lifts the veil on one of the most innovative orchestras in the world.

Enjoy an immersive orchestral experience as you wander through the South Warehouse 鈥� with musicians staged across three enormous platforms.

At the heart of the programme is the UK premiere of Anna Clyne鈥檚 PALETTE, a brand-new 麻豆官网首页入口 commission. Alongside PALETTE, Gernon will guide listeners through John Adams' exhilarating Short Ride in a Fast Machine, a suite from Tchaikovsky鈥檚 timeless ballet Swan Lake, Vaughan Williams鈥� Fantasia on Greensleeves. and a truly interstellar set from Tom Ad猫s鈥� Dant茅.

Whether you鈥檙e a seasoned classical music fan or just curious, this is a chance to see one of the UK鈥檚 most exciting orchestras in an immersive setting.

About Anna Clyne鈥檚 PALETTE
PALETTE is a technical wonder as well as a Concerto for Augmented Orchestra, written using a process called The Augmented Orchestra (AO), which electronically transforms the real-time acoustic sounds of the musicians, creating an augmented sonic experience that is perceived as a natural extension of the orchestra and a fundamental component of the composition.

Clyne鈥檚 piece explores the symbiosis between music and art, with seven movements that all explore a different colour. As part of her creative process, Clyne created a painting for each movement, exploring elements that also translate to the music 鈥� visual gestures, textures, light, colour, and form, resulting in an orchestral work that is inextricably linked to the visual language of this extraordinary artist.

PALETTE is co-commissioned by the 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic, The Juilliard School, National Orchestra Institute Festival, New World Symphony, San Diego Symphony and the St. Louis Symphony.
