The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ welcomes oboist and conductor Douglas Boyd for a vibrant evening of 20th- and 21st-century chamber music.
The programme features Milhaud’s jazz-infused ballet – a rhythmic and sensuous piece that outlines the creation of the world based on African folk mythology.
Alongside, hear Valerie Coleman’s high-spirited Revelry, exploring the dark side of jubilation, and a world premiere by RCM composer Robert Baird. Austrian composer Berg’s richly expressive Kammerkonzert, composed specially for Schoenberg’s 50th birthday, concludes the programme.
