Arrive early for a free pre-concert talk in the auditorium. Tonight, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Director, Simon Webb, is joined by composer Sir James MacMillan to discuss his Fourth Symphony.

The BBC Philharmonic celebrate three giants of recent British musical history. Sir James MacMillan has enjoyed a long association with the Orchestra, and their performance of his Fourth Symphony marks his 60th birthday year. Sophie Bevan performs in Britten’s Les Illuminations – one of his most enduringly popular works for voice and orchestra. Sir Michael Tippett’s single-movement Fourth Symphony (1977) enjoyed huge success at the hands of Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as the BBC Philharmonic, in the early years of its life.
