Summary
Johanna Malangré conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at Hoddinott Hall in a programme featuring works by Tower, Margaret Bonds, Haydn and Shostakovich.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the famous moment Haydn instructed his musicians to walk off stage one by one until only two violins remain. This programme pairs that theatrical protest with Margaret Bonds’s soulful tribute to the civil rights movement, offering a powerful look at how composers use their craft to speak truth to power.
