The long-awaited rejoining of Evelyn Glennie and the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa (BOS) has arrived! Together they will perform ‘Veni, Veni Emmanuel’ by James MacMillan: A percussion concerto that has had more performances than almost any other piece of its age since an astounded audience heard it for the first time in 1992, and it is performed here by the percussionist it was written for, Evelyn. Wonderfully playful yet deeply spiritual, this compelling piece demands to be seen as well as heard.
This concerto will also be performed on Thursday 4th December 2015.
