Music bursting with colour and light – tonight’s concert will glitter and gleam. Stravinsky made sounds leap and dance in the sunlight. Ravel opened a book of fairy tales and told the stories anew in gorgeous impressionist tints. And Samuel Barber took a string orchestra and squeezed emotion from every note. Guest conductor Gemma New is joined by two of RNS’s new Section Leaders who step into the spotlight. Join us to celebrate all that glitters.
