Ligeti and Libby Larsen

The BBC Symphony Orchestra plays works by Libby Larsen and Victoria Borisova-Ollas. The BBC Singers perform music by Deborah Pritchard, Aftab Darvishi and Cecilia McDowall.

In the run up to International Women’s Day, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Singers are celebrating women composers and performers all week during the afternoons. Today’s programme includes works by Libby Larsen, Deborah Pritchard, Aftab Darvishi, Cecilia McDowall and Victoria Borisova-Ollas. It includes a project from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers & Authors to encourage compositions around the theme of refugees and freedom. Alexander Vedernikov brings the afternoon to a rousing close with the wonderfully powerful 4th Symphony of Shostakovich, which is full of thrusting energy and excitement.
Presented by Kate Molleson
