The first half of tonight's programme celebrates music by composers with close links with the 麻豆社 Philharmonic. Sparks by Mark Simpson (the 麻豆社 Philharmonic's recently appointed Composer-in-Association) was written for the opening of the Last Night of the 麻豆社 Proms in 2012, and also ignites tonight's concert. The programme continues with a 2014 work by James MacMillan (a former composer/conductor of the orchestra), his Viola Concerto. Pianist Jonathan Scott joins the orchestra for Gershwin's jazzy Rhapsody in Blue and the colour and drama of music from Stravinsky's ballet The Firebird bring the concert to a glowing close.
