Summary
Martyn Brabbins leads the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at Brangwyn Hall, pairing Prokofiev’s ballet music with a new euphonium concerto featuring soloist David Childs.
Why it's fantastic
Prokofiev’s heavy-hitting ballet score brings the drama of history’s most famous star-crossed lovers to life through jagged rhythms and soaring melodies. Between the theatrical intensity, you can hear the mellow, golden tones of the euphonium taking centre stage in a new concerto written by royal composer Paul Mealor.
