Concert information
Ilan Volkov conducts the BBC SSO in five World Premieres. Joanna Bailie’s playful new work will create ‘cover versions’ of pieces by Debussy and Johann Strauss while Paul Newland’s BBC Commission pays tribute to the Scottish outsider artist. Christopher Trapani’s Rust and Stardust is about the transformations of memory, while John Croft’s new piece evokes a song sung by night to keep oneself from sleeping. Charles Curtis closes the concert with a new cello concerto by Cassandra Miller, whose work has been described as “rich to the ear, heart, and senses.”
Cassandra Miller’s Cello Concerto was commissioned by Charles Curtis with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
