Adam Hickox conducts Stravinsky’s Petrushka

Young British conductor Adam Hickox returns to the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He conducts Stravinsky’s colourful ballet Petrushka as well as Sofia Gubaidulina’s Fairytale Poem, based on The Little Piece of Chalk, a fairy-tale by the Czech writer, Miloš Macourek. And the concert begins with music from Dame Ethel Smyth’s 1906 opera The Wreckers.
