Concert information

Music from both American hemispheres bookend this concert: highlights from Ginastera’s best-known score and the infectious melodies and rhythms of Dvořák’s final symphony. In between, young Armenian cellist and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Narek Hakhnazaryan plays Khachaturian’s technically demanding Concerto-Rhapsody.

To be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
