Daniel Pioro violin | Elena Schwarz conductor

Weill Symphony No.2
Tom Coult Pleasure Garden (world premiere)
Ravel Mother Goose (complete ballet)

We’re celebrating Tom Coult’s appointment as the BBC Philharmonic’s Composer in Association with a new violin concerto created especially for us – written in response to the stunning RHS Garden Bridgewater in Salford, performed with soloist Daniel Pioro and conducted by Elena Schwarz, making her debut with the orchestra. We begin with Kurt Weill’s energetic Second Symphony and end with Ravel’s exquisite evocation of childhood.

Pleasure Garden was co-commissioned by the BBC Philharmonic and the University of Salford
