Hamilton is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the very foundations of the America we know today. The score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway - the story of America then, as told by America now.

The immensely popular cellist Laura van der Heijden returns to BBC NOW with a performance of Martinů’s athletic and folky, yet expressively impassioned Cello Concerto, before conductor Antony Hermus turns puppet-master in Stravinsky’s Petrushka. Petrushka, the rebellious jester falls in love with a Ballerina who falls in love with the Moor in this fated folk story, with the dancing and despairingly flailing puppet cleverly wound into action by Stravinsky’s ingenious rhythm and orchestration.

At Salieri’s death in 1825 rumour was rife that Salieri had poisoned Mozart out of jealousy and spite. In fact this was entirely fabricated – the result of musical factions at the Viennese Court splitting down ethnic lines: the Italians vs the Germans. It IS true that Mozart claimed he had been poisoned as he lay dying – but he never named Salieri. It IS true that Salieri tried and failed to commit suicide but he never accused himself of murdering Mozart.

Together, they explore the special magic that occurs when two artists join in a shared artistic vision – from the grace and wit of Mozart’s violin sonatas to Schumann’s final Violin Sonata, pure romanticism at its darkest and most impassioned.
