Change to Conductor
Regretfully Ben Gernon has had to withdraw from this concert and we are grateful to Jack Sheen who has kindly agreed to step in at short notice.
Linton Stephens presents a live concert broadcast from the BBC Philharmonic and friends from the orchestra’s MediaCityUK home in Salford.
The concert offers an opportunity to discover music by Nathaniel Dett, Margaret Bonds, Julia Perry, Ali Osman, Kikuko Kanai and Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. BBC New Generation Artist Kunal Lahiry is soloist in Perry’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and AHRC Composer Champion Samantha Ege will present solo piano works by Nathaniel Dett and Margaret Bonds. The BBC Philharmonic is conducted by Ben Gernon.
This concert is part of a collaboration between BBC Radio 3 and UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) which aims to celebrate and give recognition to classical composers from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
