The concert is being recorded by BBC Radio 3 for network broadcast. Clare Hammond is a regular collaborator with Hellawell, having recorded his works on CD; she was during 2013 a resident artist in Music at Queen’s. This major new work, which extends Hellawell’s long-term series of experimental essays in the relationship of solo instrument and surrounding ensemble, is his largest to enter the public domain since the BBC Proms success of Wild Flow for orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016.

This concert also includes Copland’s popular Appalachian Spring and Vaughan-Williams’ Symphony no 5.
