BBC Symphony Orchestra performs Stravinsky’s “Firebird”

In one fabulous musical evening, the ballets of Stravinsky (“The Firebird”) and Debussy (“Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune”), the symphonic ballad of Lyatoshinsky (“Grazhina”) and a new violin concerto with a difference “Prosoidia” by the Finnish composer Lotta Wennäkoski are collected.

The evening opens and closes with the already classic suites by Debussy and Stravinsky, which, however, at the beginning of the last century, amazed the audience with their innovative sensuality and pure emotion. The musical novel “Grazhina” tells about courage and struggle. Meanwhile, violinist Ilya Gringolts will give the world premiere of a violin concerto with a difference, which the composer presented in the form of a wordless conversation. Eva Ollikainen will conduct the evening.
