The January 3, 2022 concert of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, featuring City Scenes, will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on February 22, and available for online listening afterwards.
Sian Edwards conducts a programme that ends with Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances. Before it come two much newer pieces, Dani Howard’s Coalescence – which explores how the human race has attempted to ‘outsmart’ nature over the centuries, and Karim Al-Zand’s City Scenes, which captures the beauty and chaos of life in a city.
