Stravinsky's Petrushka

Ilan Volkov and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform music by Stravinsky, a new piece by Michael Parsons, and a concerto with pianist Joanna MacGregor.

Music of playful rigour and sonic experiment from City Halls in Glasgow. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ilan Volkov perform a concert of music by Stravinsky alongside newer pieces by two of England's most searching and inventive composers. After Stravinsky's "Four Etudes for Orchestra" comes Michael Parson's exploratory work "LEVELS for orchestra", then Howard Skempton's "Piano Concerto". The orchestra is joined by soloist Joanna MacGregor to conjure the wide-ranging moods of Skempton's daringly melodic music. And the concert ends with Stravinsky's tour-de-force of orchestral colour and storytelling: the ballet score "Petrushka".
