BBC National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Nil Venditti return to Brecon and Newport this September with a programme of Busoni, Bellini, Mendelssohn and our very own Grace Williams’ rhapsodic Violin Concerto with the prodigiously talented Geneva Lewis.

In a homage to Mozart’s comic operas, Busoni’s Lustspiel Overture is perhaps his best-loved work. This fantastic little piece fuses Mozartian drama and overflowing melody with a sunny high-romantic orchestration. Set in Roman Gaul, Bellini’s Bel Canto opera Norma was first stages at Milan’s La Scala in 1831, the same year a young Mendelssohn was travelling through Italy. Mediterranean sunshine, art and architecture, religious devotion and vast landscapes form the vessel for his Italian Symphony, all wonders he witnessed first hand during his travels.
