Music, nature, magic and reality: Sibelius’ mighty Seventh Symphony can sound as if it was wrought from rock, ice and the air itself.

It’s one artist’s response to an age of global crisis – just as Jimmy López Bellido’s Altered Landscapes evokes images of progress, reflection and a world transformed by humanity’s shared experiences in the 21st century.

For López, music can ‘plant a seed of hope and beauty in all of us’, and his colourful, urgently communicative compositions have caused a sensation in the USA.

The BBC Concert Orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor Anna-Maria Helsing brings his message to the UK tonight – and joins Britain’s best-loved saxophonist Jess Gillam on a joyous adventure to another isle of wonder, in Michael Nyman’s exuberant, Shakespeare-inspired modern classic.
