Concert Information
Bramwell Tovey’s Urban Runway is laced with both jazz and minimalist flavours. Housed in a cakewalk rhythm, the piece is a musical stroll through the big-city American streets of New York and Rodeo Drive. Co-commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2008, the piece receives its UK premiere by the Â鶹Éç Concert Orchestra at this afternoon’s concert conducted by the Grammy award-winning composer himself.
Songs by Eric Coates and Ivor Novello are performed by Â鶹Éç New Generation Artist and highly acclaimed mezzo-soprano Kathryn Rudge, alongside John McEwan’s vibrant Solway Symphony, completing the programme at the Â鶹Éç’s iconic Maida Vale Studios.
