In a programme designed to pay tribute to musical predecessors, the evening opens with Tchaikovsky’s sentimental tribute to the composer he worshipped and culminates in Mozart’s Jupiter — his last and greatest symphony.

Working with the astonishing recorder virtuoso Genevieve Lacey, Elena Kats-Chernin radically reshaped Bach’s Two-Part Inventions and one even became ‘a kind of mysterious tango’. George Benjamin’s transcription of Purcell’s work honours the man who ‘changed my path as a composer’.
