This term, the orchestra is delighted to be joined by internationally-renowned soloist Lilya Zilberstein to perform Prokofiev’s witty and virtuosic 3rd Piano Concerto. Zilberstein regularly appears with major orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, collaborating with conductors such as Gustavo Dudamel, Claudio Abbado and Michael Tilson Thomas, and has recorded over 20 albums for Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Classics.
The second half feature’s Lili Boulanger’s vibrant D’un matin de Printemps, filled with luminous colour and rhythmic energy capturing the optimism of a spring morning. Also featuring is Suites 1 & 2 from Ravel’s kaleidoscopic ballet Daphnis et Chloé, an evolutionary ballet score depicting a mythical tale of love between shepherds, nymphs and gods.
