Concert Information
Grażyna Bacewicz’s 'Music for Strings, Trumpets and Percussion' can be seen as a recasting of her better known 'Concerto for String Orchestra'. And if that work is unfamiliar to you, brace yourself for an introduction to a composer whose work is often dubbed ‘neo-classical’ but whose music is knotty, rigorous stuff, propelled by a unique sensibility. No introduction is necessary, surely, for Beethoven’s famous symphonic depiction of nature, a cross-country ramble to warm us on an autumn afternoon.
Both works will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 - the presenter in Glasgow is Jamie MacDougall.
