Part of the BBC Proms. 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 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.| 6 Aug 22 | Royal Albert Hall Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
