Performance NotesNew Zealand-born conductor Gemma New makes her Proms debut with a colourful programme of 20th and 21st-century orchestral masterworks.

The graceful charm of Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2 – a birthday gift for the composer’s talented teenage son – meets the dazzling dances and acerbic brilliance of Stravinsky’s ballet The Firebird. We move into the present with the European premiere of Canadian composer Samy Moussa’s Symphony No. 2. Prize-winning pianist Pavel Kolesnikov joins the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

BBC co-commission and European premiere of 'Symphony No.2', Samy Moussa.

The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
