'Symphony No. 10 in E minor', Shostakovich |
| Performance Notes | Experience the electric atmosphere of a performance by the Chineke! Orchestra Europes first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra. Conducted by Jonathon Heyward, together they perform Shostakovichs 10th Symphony: over 50 minutes of brutality, violence, despair and terror, followed by two minutes of triumph. A portrait of life and death in Stalins Russia, its a fierce act of musical testimony.
The Prom opens with the steady thrum of Coleridge-Taylors orchestral dance The Bamboula, while works by US composers Valerie Coleman and James Lee III form the concerts American-accented centre.
