110 years ago, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring blew classical music wide open - and we’re still dealing with the aftershock. Sounds become colours, orchestras erupt like volcanoes and a century dances to the pure, liberating energy of unchained rhythm. It’s an explosive climax to a concert in which sound itself is the star.

In other words, exactly what you’d expect when the full BBC Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Ilan Volkov – the mind behind Glasgow’s groundbreaking Tectonics festival and a byword for music-making without limits. He’s joined by recorder phenomenon Erik Bosgraaf in Anna Meredith’s Origami Songs as part of a sequence of music that swings from fragile beauty to elemental force, including music by Arvo Part and a rare performance of Stefan Nicolescu’s stunning, explosive 1970s classic Ison II. Prepare to re-imagine the way you listen.
