    About This Event

    The 成人论坛 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov pair Beethoven鈥檚 dramatic concert aria 鈥楢h! perfido鈥� with the Second Symphony 鈥� a work whose vitality and 鈥榮miling鈥� mood belie the private struggles and despair of a composer wrestling with hearing loss 鈥� with a new commission from celebrated American composer George Lewis. This world premiere blends a conventional orchestra with spatialised electronics, exploiting the unique space of the Royal Albert Hall to create, in Lewis鈥檚 words, 鈥榓 medium for meditation on what processes of decolonisation might sound like鈥�.

    Broadcast on 成人论坛 Four on Thursday 2 September
