Our final concert is a kaleidoscopic carnival for young people: a tour of the orchestra, hot Brazilian percussion, flying witches and Petrushka’s Shrovetide fair.Brighton Philharmonic ends its orchestral season with a programme designed to show off the orchestra in every way imaginable! Benjamin Britten’s irrepressible tour around each section of the orchestra – a journey of character, wit and variety ending in a mind-blowing fugue – is followed by a brand-new concerto for the Brazilian percussionist Adriano Adewale and Joanna MacGregor. Prepare to have your socks knocked off by Adriano’s amazing array of instruments, the sheer brilliance of his playing, explosive Latin rhythms and unbridled orchestral partying.
The second half flies in Mussorgsky’s fabulist witches – made famous by Disney’s Fantasia – followed by Stravinsky’s orchestral carnival, the story of the loveable, lovelorn puppet Petrushka, surrounded by the hurly burly of Shrovetide Fair. A colourful, fantastical score that that will thrill listeners of all ages.
Join us for an incredible experience and become part of the BPO family!
‘The brilliant Adriano Adewale combines his Brazilian and African roots in a wonderfully captivating synthesis.’ – The Jazzman
