Imagination Takes Flight

Soaring imagination inspires this program. Joanna Marsh’s dynamic Flare was commissioned for the first-ever BBC Proms in Dubai. Stravinsky burst onto the world stage with The Firebird, his first major commission for Serge Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes. Completing the program are two powerful works that embody the characteristic drama of Mussorgsky and Wagner — an evening to remember!
