About BBC Philharmonic Orchestra: Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony
The richly orchestrated Scottish Symphony depicts the craggy landscape of Scotland, while the Dances of Galánta is one of the most vibrant pieces of orchestral repertoire, a celebration of Hungarian folk music.
Deborah Pritchard is a composer whose music is inspired by colour, acclaimed for its luminous beauty and dramatic pacing. Her new violin concerto, performed by Harriet Mackenzie, will be accompanied by live projections of Maggi Hambling’s Nightingale night series, as nature, sound and art combine.
