This event is archived
In this first of two ‘Composer Conducts’ concerts, James MacMillan premieres his Oboe Concerto with soloist Nicholas Daniel. It is heard alongside two pieces by composers who both struggled with ideas of revolution and change: Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony (an arrangement of his searing String Quartet No 8) and Beethoven’s sunny and genial Second Symphony.
