First, though, Chloë Hanslip weaves modern-day magic from Philip Glass – and if you enjoy Barber’s Adagio for Strings, you’re going to love his Essay No.2.

Music from different worlds and centuries collide in Domingo Hindoyan’s debut with Ensemble 10:10. Featuring Liverpool's own William Bracken on piano, Alban Berg's 1920s masterpiece was fashioned in the intellectual cauldron of Vienna. Kareem Roustom’s Violin Concerto was inspired by a musical phrase from a Mozart concerto which invoked his own Arabic musical heritage and language, and will be played tonight by its dedicatee, Michael Barenboim. On the other hand, Sam Kane – winner of the 2023 Rushworth Composition Prize – takes his musical roots from his own Irish ancestry.
