An extraordinary friendship connected Dmitri Shostakovich and his Jewish colleague Mieczysław Weinberg, who came from Poland and fled to Minsk in 1939 and later lived in Moscow. They both suffered repression and threats - and at the same time had to find a way to defy the Soviet cultural ideology with their music and to survive. As was the case then, their works in this program also enter into a subtle dialogue with one another, characterized by light and darkness, consolation and despair.

Principal Conductor Ryan Bancroft takes to the podium to conduct the world premiere of Composer in Association, Gavin Higgins' A Monstrous Little Suite from his opera The Monstrous Child, before Håken Hardenberger makes a much anticipated return to BBC NOW for one of the finest concertos of its kind, Weinberg's playful, suspenseful and witty Trumpet Concerto. With shadows of darkness, to a hobbling waltz, this concerto ingeniously quotes music from some of the most popular works in existence, from Bizet's Carmen to Stravinsky's Petrushka, from Mendelssohn's iconic Wedding March to Mahler's fifth.
