Textures and colours are to the fore in this concert with a French accent. Our triptych of Stravinsky ballets continues with The Firebird – the work that seized the ears of Paris’s elite with its urgent rhythms and evocative Russian folk melodies. We celebrate Boulez’s 90th-birthday year with his first work for full orchestra, a sophisticated experiment in colours and timbres. Marc-André Hamelin joins the BBC SO for Ravel’s jazz- influenced Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, commissioned by the one-armed pianist Paul Wittgenstein.

Tickets from £7.50 - £38.

George Slater-Walker, 13th August
