Described by composer Sir James MacMillan as “one of the most astonishing and surprising young newcomers in Scottish music,” Glasgow-born accordionist and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist (2022-24) Ryan Corbett is redefining expectations of his instrument. And in a concerto written especially for him, fellow Scot Jay Capperauld—praised for his “unbridled sonic imagination” (The Scotsman)—channels the crackling energy of electricity into music that dazzles.
On the podium is the dynamic Finnish conductor Emilia Hoving, who conducts music full of hope by fellow Finn Outi Tarkainen, and Prokofiev’s emotionally charged Romeo and Juliet—a score that grips the heart and never lets go.
