About this event

Inspired by ancient textiles seen in the Louvre Museum, Morton Feldman鈥檚 Coptic Light glows heavily in the air, stopping time. Ilan Volkov directs the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in this late masterpiece from the American modernist and the world premiere of Frederic Rzewski鈥檚 Piano Concerto, with the composer as soloist.

English experimentalist John White鈥檚 Chord-Breaking Machine opens a Late Night Prom of unusual orchestral textures in which the Irish composer Gerald Barry鈥檚 2008 work No other people. receives its UK premiere.
