Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös conducts the UK premiere of his spectacular new work “Multiversum” alongside rhythmically charged music by three giants of the 20th century.

Opening the program, the nervous energy of Schoenberg’s “Accompaniment to a Film Scene” is inspired by the words “threatening, danger, fear, catastrophe.” Bartók and Stravinsky’s music finds its energy in darting rhythmic patterns, throwing light and shade across the orchestra. Eötvös’s “Multiversum,” for orchestra, organ and Hammond organ, explores the nature of the universe and what lies beyond.
