Information about the programme

Since becoming the BRSO’s Chief Conductor, Sir Simon Rattle has also been a mentor of the Orchestra Academy, as the promotion of young talent is particularly close to his heart. He calls it a “no brainer” – such promotion is self-evident. He performed his first project with the BRSO Academy last season, and will continue his work with the scholarship recipients in the new season with this special concert. This concert is exclusively geared towards young people: Sir Simon has carefully selected works for this ensemble and for Tsotne Zedginidze, the incredible young pianist from Georgia that Sir Simon had introduced to Munich audiences last season.
