Summary
Adam Hickox conducts the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, featuring Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring and the world premiere of Gavin Higgins’s Clarinet Concerto with soloist Mark Simpson.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the primal power of a work so radical it sparked a riot at its Paris premiere. This performance pairs that rhythmic explosion with a brand new clarinet concerto, offering the perfect chance to hear how modern music still pushes boundaries while staying rooted in the haunting beauty of traditional folk melodies.
