A magical bird, a dream of England, and the sheer magic of pianist Yeol Eum Son, as Sakari Oramo and the Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra bring a blaze of colour to the Barbican.

Love, death and pomegranates: Sakari Oramo rediscovers Stravinsky’s epic retelling of the myth of Persephone.

From the primal, hypnotic dances of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to the sensual throb of Ravel’s µþ´Ç±ôé°ù´Ç and the edgy thrum and twitch of Varèse’s ±õ²Ô³Ùé²µ°ù²¹±ô±ð²õ, the Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra and Eva Ollikainen get the musical pulse racing

Sakari Oramo and the Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra join soloist Augustin Hadelich for Mendelssohn’s vivacious, melody-filled Violin Concerto. We also hear Stravinsky’s The Song of the Nightingale and Strauss’s tone-poem Till Eulenspiegel
