Prince Consort Professor of Conducting Martyn Brabbins and the RCM Philharmonic open this concert with a world premiere by RCM composer Anian Wiedner. Waterfall Night is inspired by the abstract and richly layered painting by American artist Pat Steir. In addition, hear suites by Betsy Jolas - a work described as 'a walking stroll in four sections' - and Tchaikovsky, with his iconic Swan lake that includes the famous opening fantasylike theme played by the oboe and harp.
