BBC NOW in Concert: Impressions and Meditations
Thursday, December 5, 2024, 1930 - 2100
Dynamic, Expansive and Picturesque!
Step into a world of vibrant soundscapes and captivating melodies with BBC NOW's Impressions and Meditations, a concert that brings together the forces of nature, vivid imagery, and timeless Romanticism.
Gabriella Smith's Tumblebird Contrails sets the scene, drawing inspiration from the Pacific Ocean. Picture waves crashing on the shore, the sizzle of sand, and the graceful flight of gulls and ravens overhead, all set to music. Smith's impressionistic work ebbs and flows like the sea itself, with jet trails painting vivid pictures across the sky.
BBC NOW's very own Principal Trombonist, Donal Bannister, steps into the spotlight for a world premiere by Simon Wills, a piece crafted especially for him. This is a moment not to be missed as Bannister showcases his virtuosity in a work written to highlight his unique artistry.
Rounding out the programme, Principal Conductor Ryan Bancroft continues his journey through the music of Charles Ives. This time, it's Ives' Symphony No. 1, a work rich in meditative melodies, energetic contrasts, and hymn-like themes that soar with Romantic lyricism.
Don't miss this unforgettable evening of music, imagery, and emotion. Join us on 5 December for a performance that promises to be dynamic, expansive, and truly picturesque.
