Josep Pons (conductor)
Josep Pons and the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra present a Spanish-themed Prom with a French accent. Debussy and Ravel paint Spain in their own distinctive colours: Ravel with the raw heat and insistent thrum of his BolΓ©ro and Debussy in the vivid musical vignettes of IbΓ©ria. Meanwhile Spanish violinist MarΓa DueΓ±as β a ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 New Generation Artist and winner of the 2021 Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition β is the soloist in Γdouard Laloβs most famous work, the Symphonie espagnole, which marks the French Romantic composerβs 200th anniversary. The concert opens in Andalusia, with music from Fallaβs tragic opera La vida breve, set in sun-soaked Granada.
