Performer: Mark Simpson

In Liverpool, an exploration of gay themes makes Gavin Higgins' extensive and virtuoso Clarinet Concerto a work which will surely become a mainstay of concert programmes in years to come. 

A compelling concert at Liverpool’s Tung Auditorium offers a striking Josephine Stephenson’s UK premiere, dazzling John Adams and Steve Reich’s mesmerising Reich/Richter.

Energy and virtuosity underpin this performance by wind players – and one string performer – from the RLPO, led by a local legend playing on his home turf. 

Astonishing virtuosity for the clarinet along with one of the great wartime symphonies ensured a fascinating evening at the 2018 Proms.

Delius resurrected, Wood introduced, Nielsen explored and thrilling Ravel at the BBC Proms.

Eine Österreischische Erstaufführung, Kurtág, Schumann, dramaturgische Logik und viel Musikalität wurden im Großen Saal der Stiftung Mozarteum mit Spannung verfolgt.
