Stravinsky’s revolutionary ballet score is the highlight in the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra’s celebration of spring from Manchester's Aviva Studios. Presented by Ben Gernon. The UK premiere of Jessie Montgomery’s Chemiluminescence follows in calm contrast. This work for string orchestra introduces an atmosphere of contemplative beauty as science and the natural world are united through sound in the composer’s musical depiction of the creation of light from a non-light source. An evocative programme of musical concepts, exploring spring’s explosive destruction and radiant light.
