Performance NotesPraised for its ‘exuberant’, ‘exhilarating’ and ‘thrilling’ appearances at the Proms, the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain returns for a concert that straddles stage and screen, as well as the concert hall and Hollywood.

The sensuous radiance of Ravel’s ballet score Daphnis and Chloe – a ‘vast musical fresco’ inspired by the ancient Greek story of two foundlings who fall in love – meets the electrifying, jazz-inspired energy of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. The concert opens with the London premiere of Wunderkammer, a kaleidoscopic new work from a film-music legend: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands composer Danny Elfman.

London premiere of 'Wunderkammer', Danny Elfman.
