Tickets: £12 BBC National Orchestra of Wales
The mythical figure of Iris, goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the Olympian gods, provides inspiration to both Per N ø g å rd and Qigang Chen. For N ø g å rd it is her personification in nature that inspired his stunning orchestral work, rich in sounds that represent a spectrum of glittering colour; for Chen it is Iris, the woman who grabs his imagination as he portrays "the eternal feminine and its multiple facets" through nine movements that subtly integrate traditional Chinese instruments and a Beijing operatic soprano with a large classical orchestra and two Western sopranos.
