Pianist Louis Lortie stars in a concert of Ravel and Poulenc - music with a certain "je ne sais quoi" .
Naughty, but very nice. They do things differently in France, where elegance and seduction dance a delicate valse , and enjoyment is a serious business. So when Ravel opens a book of children’s fairy tales, you know to expect something a bit more sumptuous - and a lot more magical - than jus

Hearing is believing in Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand and Tchaikovsky’s explosive Fourth Symphony.
When the pianist Paul Wittgenstein lost his right hand in the First World War, he asked Ravel to write him something he could play with his left hand alone. The result is a masterpiece that glitters like a rare diamond. Played tonight by one of its most brilliant living champions, Nicholas M

The overture to Nielsen’s joyful and exuberant opera Maskarade is the perfect start to our celebrations, filled as it is with all the fun and drama of a masked ball. Despite being considered the "national opera" of Denmark and acknowledged by Denmark’s Ministry of Culture in 2006 as one of the nation’s 12 greatest musical works, the piece is rarely performed outside of the composer’s home country.

Literary Chelsea - A Celebration through Words and Music.
'Few would venture to Chelsea, unarmed and unattended,’ wrote Charles Dickens in his 1841 novel Barnaby Rudge . It was certainly a different time, but the bohemian feel and reasonable rents (because of the prevalence of highwaymen) attracted huge numbers of writers and musicians to Chelsea.
Tonight, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Dancing chickens, luminous skulls, a witch’s hut... sounds spectacular? It’s amazing what you can achieve with a head full of stories, an ear for musical colour, and a few shots of vodka!
In the opening concert of our new season, guest conductor Long Yu - China’s pre-eminent living conductor - opens up a veritable musical picture book, and whether it’s a radiant vision of a Russian dawn or Mus

The composers of the Romantic era liked their landscapes untamed, their stories sensational and their emotions larger-than-life - so that’s exactly what conductor Jac van Steen delivers tonight.
Mendelssohn conceived his 'Scottish’ Symphony at twilight in Edinburgh, as he wandered the ruins of Holyrood Abbey: what follows is a sweeping musical drama of mist-covered moors and warring clans.

The RPO’s Principal Associate Conductor Alexander Shelley has been called 'a natural communicator’ - and tonight he has a joyous story to tell.
He kicks off with the whirlwind energy and homespun high-spirits of Smetana’s irresistible comedy overture. He finishes with the blazing trumpets and big, sunlit melodies of Brahms’ second and happiest symphony - it was written while the composer was o
