This kaleidoscopic programme will delight old and young alike, from Dukas's vividly imagined The Sorcerer's Apprentice to Bartók's dizzingly virtuoso celebration of the symphony orchestra. Far-Eastern colours and sonorities give Chinese-born composer Bright Sheng's music a distinctive appeal. Sakari Oramo is joined by distinguished Israeli-American violinist Gil Shaham for a performance of the composer's recent violin concerto, Let Fly.
