Performance Notes | Praised 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 Ravels 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 Gershwins 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.
