Holst’s The Planets is quite simply one of the most thrilling orchestral showpieces of the twentieth century; a fantastic musical voyage to the very edge of infinity and beyond. Peter Oundjian begins the Season in spectacular style, but first there’s a centenary tribute to Benjamin Britten, and piano legend Jean-Yves Thibaudet makes history with the UK premiere of a new concerto by world-renowned Scottish composer, James MacMillan. It’s the start of an incredible journey: be there!

RSNO and Oudnjian play The Planets and James MacMillan's Third Piano Concerto

Alan Coady, 4th October

The adjective in the title of Britten’s 1934 Simple Symphony could refer to the ease with which listeners can spot each movement’s two contrasting themes. Attentive, lively use of tempo, dynamics, phrasing, colour enabled Peter Oundjian and the RSNO to make the most of young Britten’s diversity within impressive compositional unity.
