Dmitri Kourliandski: Riot of Spring
Under the baton of Sam Weller, the Symphony Orchestra explores bold and imaginative sound worlds through three landmark contemporary works. Thomas Adès’s Asyla, especially the third movement Ecstasio, is a rhythmically intricate and sonically vibrant piece drawing inspiration from club music – pounding, obsessive and mesmerising.
In contrast, Julia Wolfe’s Pretty blends classical technique with gritty, rock-infused drive. The result is raw, pulsing, and unapologetically intense. The programme also features Dmitri Kourliandski’s Riot of Spring, a provocative response to Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring.
