National Youth Orchestra

The awe-inspiring orchestra of teenagers returns to the Royal Albert Hall with a packed bill of popular masterpieces, including Mussorgsky's A Night on the Bare Mountain and Debussy's La Mer. Renowned British composer George Benjamin conducts the concert, which also features his own colourful Dance Figures and Gyorgy Ligeti's Lontano, which recently found new fans as part of a Martin Scorsese soundtrack. Pianist Tamara Stefanovich performs Ravel's dazzling Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, which was written for a WWI veteran.
