Summary
Naomi Woo conducts the BBC Philharmonic at the Royal Northern College of Music, featuring guitarist Sean Shibe in a programme of works by Purcell, Bruckner, Julia Wolfe and Cassandra Miller.
Why it's fantastic
Expect an evening of curious contrasts as the BBC Philharmonic pairs Purcell’s sombre royal funeral marches with the frantic, folk-inspired energy of Julia Wolfe. Guitarist Sean Shibe joins the ensemble for this adventurous programme, offering a rare chance to hear how modern composers find fresh, startling beauty in the echoes of the distant past.
