The Spanish conductor-composer Francisco Coll makes his debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducting two of his own works. Aqua Cinerea – the title means evoking ash-grey water or perhaps even the image of ash falling as rain – is his magical first orchestral work written in 2005 when Coll was 19. Hímnica (2020) is a kind of passacaglia, or chaconne, in which a hymnic theme develops in different ways within one slow tempo.

Superstar bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel brings unique charm to an eclectic mix of styles. Alongside harpist Hannah Stone and pianist Annabel Thwaite, Terfel performs a song cycle, traditional Welsh folk music, and songs by notable composers.

Sir Bryn Terfel

California Center for the Arts

Grammy and Gramophone Award winner Sir Bryn Terfel performs a distinctive mix of the music for which he is so renowned. The first half of the program includes the sounds of home in traditional Welsh songs and works by 19th- and 20th-century Welsh and British composers. The second half of the program features a particularly beautiful collection of songs by Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Debussy, as well as a heartfelt selection from Les Misérables. Exquisite instrumental interludes put a welcome spotlight on harpist Hannah Stone (recently the Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales) and pianist Annabel Thwaite.
