The world premiere of John McCabe's 'Joybox' opens a concert of music inspired by or written for dance, from the Bohemian stamp and whirl of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony to the slow-burn crescendo of Ravel's 'Bol茅ro'. Mezzo-soprano Clara Mouriz and the Compa帽铆a Antonio Marqu茅z join conductor Juanjo Mena and the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in Falla's colourful Ballets Russes commission 'The Three-Cornered Hat', a tale of intrigue and jealousy shot through with the spirit of Spanish folk dances.
