Summary
Marta Gardolińska conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican, featuring violinist Bomsori Kim in Szymanowski’s second concerto and Agata Zubel’s Rhapsody alongside works by Ravel and Lutosławski.
Why it's fantastic
If you have only ever heard Lutosławski’s folk-inspired melodies on the radio, hearing his massive Concerto for Orchestra live is a visceral revelation. Violinist Bomsori Kim leads this exploration of Polish heritage, offering a chance to witness the technical precision required for a UK premiere alongside Ravel’s sun-drenched Spanish rhythms.
