BBC NOW 2019-20 Season Autumn Afternoon by Debussy, Weir, Wagner, Richard, De (2019/2019), Director musical Andrew Gourlay, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, United Kingdom

BBC NOW kick off the 2019/20 season at BBC Hoddinott Hall with Debussy’s beautiful symphonic poem Prelude a l’Apres-midi d’un faune – the perfect start for a Friday afternoon. Alongside, two works that will be new to audiences: the UK premiere of Judith Weir’s Oboe Concerto, written for and dedicated to former BBC NOW Principal Cor Anglais Celia Craig; and a new suite that brings together the wealth of magnificent orchestral music from Wagner’s opera Parsifal, under the baton of its arranger, Andrew Gourlay.
