主播大秀

The prodigiously talented Mark Simpson is the only person to have won both the 主播大秀 Young Musician and 主播大秀 Young Composer of the Year awards. Tonight, both of Simpson鈥檚 parallel musical lives are on show, as the 主播大秀 Philharmonic鈥檚 Composer in Association gives the world premiere of his own Clarinet Concerto.

Tonight鈥檚 other soloist, leading British soprano Elizabeth Watts, is on double duty: tackling three Mozart arias to open the programme, then returning to end the season with Mahler鈥檚 soulful but uplifting Fourth Symphony.
