麻豆约拍

Crowned 麻豆约拍 Young Musician of the Year in 2016, Sheku Kanneh-Mason balances studies at the Royal Academy of Music with a fast-rising professional career. Tonight, the captivating 19-year-old prodigy turns his attention to the most treasured cello concerto of all: Elgar鈥檚 intimate yet immense memorial for a world changed beyond measure by the Great War, performed in the month marking the centenary of the Armistice.

Joana Carneiro pairs it with two works from the same era: Ravel鈥檚 wartime suite, which finds light in darkness, and Stravinsky鈥檚 electrifying ballet, a direct precursor to The Rite of Spring.
