BBC National Orchestra of Wales - VENUE CHANGE
| Conductor | Giancarlo Guerrera |
| Soloist | Abel Selaocoe, cello |
| Caroline Shaw | The Observatory (UK premiere) |
| Abel Selaocoe | Four Spirits |
| Bartók | Concerto for Orchestra |
Fusing Western and African traditions into something spellbindingly unique, the sensational Abel Selaocoe returns to Wales for the first time in his new role as BBC NOW’s Artist in Residence, with a performance of his cello concerto – Four Spirits. Caroline Shaw’s The Observatory sees its UK premiere – blending chaos and clarity, foreground and background, the piece is inspired by a trip to the Griffin Observatory near Hollywood Bowl and explores new ways of looking at the universe, melding old and new in a stream of consciousness that never quite ends where it
began. Bartok’s folk-flecked Concerto for Orchestra closes this breath-taking programme, conducted by the illustrious Grammy Award Winning Costa Rican conductor, Giancarlo Guerrero.
