The incredible force of 160 young musicians takes us from Mexico to Russia, from the 2019 Glitter Revolution to the Russian Revolution of 1905.
Experience a movement for change in Gabriela Ortiz’ Grammy Award-winning Revolución diamantina, inspired by real-life protests demanding an end to violence against women in Mexico. Ortiz’ music transforms the urgency of these protests into a powerful orchestral sound-world, filled with driving rhythms and explosive energy.
Shostakovich’s 11th Symphony has been called ‘a film score without a film.’ Setting the scene outside the Winter Palace on a freezing day in January 1905, he goes on to describe in music of great power and immediacy the Bloody Sunday massacre of peaceful protesters by the Tsar’s Cossack troops.
