Berlin-based composer Rebecca Saunders is one of the leading and most original compositional voices of her generation. This Hear and Now features the UK Premiere of her the recent trumpet concerto, Alba, partly inspired by Samuel Beckett, co-commissioned by the BBC and dedicated to its performer Marco Blaauw.

Ilan Volkov, the BBC SSO’s Principal Guest Conductor, also directs the orchestra in Saunders’ Traces and three UK Premieres: phôsphors (... of ether) by the Irish composer Ann Cleare; Itself by French-born Franck Bedrossian, which focuses on sound deployment and transformation; and Johannes Schöllhorn’s Dämmerung Schmetterlinge (Twilight Butterflies), five enigmatic miniatures that recast at elements of the musical past in a fresh light.
