Synopsis

Suzy Klein introduces the Philharmonia Orchestra, led by principal conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, as they present a programme marked by vibrant hues at the Proms in the Royal Albert Hall. The concert promises a journey from the dazzling soundscapes of Ravel’s beloved Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, featuring soloist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, to Scriabin’s exquisite Poem of Ecstasy and the highly anticipated UK premiere of a new symphony by Arvo Part, a towering figure in contemporary music.
