Add to my Calendar 22-09-2024 14:45 22-09-2024 16:45 36 The Rite of Spring Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra's ambitious Centenary season opens with one of the most volatile scores ever written, conducted by Music Director Joanna MacGregor. Stravinsky claimed his thrilling ballet score The Rite of Spring was born from his unconscious. Its rhythmic innovation and colour – and its staggering challenges for the orchestra – changed music forever. A hundred years on, it still grabs us by the ears and jugular. Beforehand, young Dutch virtuoso Aidan Mikdad makes his Brighton debut for the spine-tingling brilliance, poetry and vivacity of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No 1. 'Aidan Mikdad pulls on the heart strings with his velvet touch – an impeccable navigation of ranges and nuances.' – Qobuz Brighton Dome Concert Hall, Brighton DD/MM/YYYYDetails
