BBC Symphony Orchestra
Brett Dean conductor
Thomas Gould violin
Anthony Pateras revox
Thomas Meadowcroft revox

Join the BBC Symphony Orchestra at Maida Vale Studios for a concert programmed and conducted by Australian composer Brett Dean.

Through the monumental works of the great Peter Sculthorpe and others, contemporary Australian orchestral music won a reputation of being above all linked to Australia's landscape and evoking the sounds of its nature. Aspects of the natural world still inspire Australian composers but as we'll see in this wide-ranging programme, there's more to it than that.

From the quietly persuasive, Basho-inspired Clouds Now and Then by Richard Meale through to Georges Lentz's extraordinary vision of the cosmos as the "embodiment and proof of divine agency", Australian orchestral music in the late 20th and early 21st centuries has grown remarkably in its diversity and sophistication. Still little known outside Australia, this concert presents no less than four European premieres from several of Australia's leading composers.

Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive early.


Richard Meale : Clouds Now and Then
Thomas Meadowcroft : Peacemaker Tattoo
Georges Lentz : Caeli enarrant... III
Brett Dean : Engelsflügel
Anthony Pateras : Immediata

Ensemble for the Romantic Century

Celebrating its 15th season, the Ensemble for the Romantic Century (ERC) returns to BAM Fisher for six performances of Anna Akhmatova: The Heart is Not Made of Stone. Written by Eve Wolf and directed by Donald T. Sanders, this multi-media production examines the troubled relationship between artistic creation and totalitarianism through the perspective of the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966). This tale of passion, love, political repression, and redemption is interwoven with music by Russian composers’ Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich.

National Orchestra For All

The National Orchestra For All 2015-2016 Music in a Modern World season finale concert will explore what music means for young musicians in the early 21st century, with the world première of Nathan Theodoulou’s Jazz Concerto Grosso featuring acclaimed jazz pianist Peter Edwards alongside two new commissions from their 2015 Summer Concert in Leeds.

'The National Orchestra for All is a truly inspiring organisation, as anyone who sees one of their performances can attest. It is wonderful to see young people from such varied backgrounds showing the remarkable discipline and collaboration needed to perform in an ensemble. We all know music has the power to improve the wellbeing of pupils and I am delighted we will be supporting NOFA to achieve this.'
