BBC Proms: Copland and Stravinsky
Royal Albert Hall, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]Two 20th-century ballets lie at the heart of this colourful concert by Ryan Bancroft and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
Puppets come to life at a bustling Shrovetide Fair in Stravinsky’s Petrushka – a giddy musical collage of folk tunes and modernist invention – while cowboy songs swirl through the score of Copland’s Billy the Kid: a musical portrait of the infamous outlaw.
Dedicatee Anthony McGill is the soloist in a new Clarinet Concerto, ‘If love will not swing wide the gates’, by Portland-based composer and songwriter Gabriel Kahane. A collaborator of Sufjan Stevens and Rufus Wainright, Kahane blends classical forms with folk-pop influences in his melodic, anthemic writing.

Gabriel Kahane - Clarinet Concerto, ‘If love will not swing wide the gates’ 22’
