Dmitri Slobodeniouk conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra

Dima Slobodeniouk crafts a fierce and emotional programme, uniting Prokofiev’s electrifying Romeo and Juliet with Lili Boulanger’s thunderous Psalm 130, a defiant outcry of hope and transcendence.

No love story has haunted the musical imagination like Romeo and Juliet, but Prokofiev’s ballet cuts deeper than most — raw, brutal, and achingly beautiful. In Slobodeniouk’s hands, this is no mere retelling, but a full-blooded resurrection — visceral, urgent, and steeped in the soul.

Before it, Boulanger’s Du fond de l’abîme (Psalm 130) rises like a cry from the edge of the void. It is her magnum opus — music ablaze with grief, grandeur, and spiritual might, composed just before her tragic death at 24. Together, these two works collide and converge in an unforgettable evening of intensity, elegance, and fire.
