The concert will open with a reprise performance from this year’s BBC Ten Pieces Prom, as 30 young musicians from North Lincolnshire take centre stage once more alongside RPO musicians. Their original composition is inspired by Ravi Shankar’s Symphony and blends Indian and Western classical styles in an intriguing and uplifting work.
Mendelssohn’s stunning Violin Concerto is performed by BBC Music Magazine Rising Star Francesca Dego. A favourite in the classical repertoire, the Concerto showcases Francesca Dego’s extraordinary talent through long, sumptuous tunes and sparkling fast passages.
The concert concludes with Brahms’ spectacular Symphony No.4. The lush orchestration shows off every instrument, combining lyrical melodies with short bursts of exhilaration to create an intense and thrilling piece, culminating in a majestic finale.
The BBC Ten Pieces performance is generously supported by Ongo Communities, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, North Lincolnshire Music Education Hub, North Lincolnshire Music Support Service and The Baths Hall.
