About This Event

Following her recent UK debut, American conductor Karina Canellakis now makes her first visit to the Proms, joining the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and fellow American Jeremy Denk for Bart贸k鈥檚 ferociously brilliant Second Piano Concerto.

Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 Symphony No. 8, by contrast, is a work of genial lyricism. 鈥楳elodies simply pour out of me,鈥� wrote the composer, and the result is a pastoral symphony in all but name.

The concert opens with the European premiere of Missy Mazzoli鈥檚 mesmeric Sinfonia 鈥� music 鈥榠n the shape of the solar system鈥� that weaves and coils itself in a sequence of pulsing loops.

Broadcast on 麻豆社 Four, 8 September
