The BBC SSO presents an evening of music by composers from New Zealand and Australia, many of them European Premieres. Edinburgh-based composer and Scottish Music Centre member [b]Lyell Creswell's[/b] [i]Piano Concerto[/i], written for a close friend, is by turns melancholic, angry, and contemplative, while [b]Jack Body's[/b] [i]Little Elegies[/i] was composed in response to the horrors of war. [b]Liza Lim's[/b] work has been acclaimed for its vibrancy and colour and the orchestra gives the UK Premiere of one of her new works while [b]Helen Bowater's[/b] [i]New Year Fanfare[/i] re-captures a raucous Hogmanay in Java. Expect vibrancy, energy and some exotic instrumentation as the countries' composers fuse European, Pacific and Asian influences to stunning effect under the direction of the young Dutch conductor [b]Otto Tausk[/b]. [b]Tickets[/b]: Free (unreserved seating) limited to 4 tickets per application (children under age of 12 not admitted) (booking fee may apply).
