With two explosive chords, Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ symphony launched a new era for music – and created a world of limitless sonic possibility. It’s revolutionary in every sense: and for the BBC SSO’s Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov, who’s never afraid to explore new musical territory, it’s the natural culmination of a concert that opens with the UK Premiere of a new work from the Canadian composer Cassandra Miller, whose music has already wowed audiences at the orchestra’s Tectonics festival. And the masterly Ilya Gringolts is the soloist in another UK Premiere, Salvatore Sciarrino’s fantastical Allegoria della notte: a piece that takes one of the world’s best-loved violin concertos, and turns it inside out.
