About This Event

鈥楢 song without words for orchestra鈥�, Tippett鈥檚 final work was inspired by a lake in Senegal, flushed pink by the midday sun. The result is an ecstatic hymn to nature teeming with rhythmic energy and thick slashes of melody. Foremost Tippett specialist Sir Andrew Davis, conducts The Rose Lake alongside two other richly coloured works 鈥� the Suite from Debussy鈥檚 shadowy fairytale opera Pell茅as et M茅lisande, which receives its UK premiere here, and Szymanowski鈥檚 sumptuous Violin Concerto.
