Camille P茅pin is making waves. A brilliant new voice in contemporary music, her addictive, luxuriant work sits somewhere between the seemingly opposite worlds of French impressionism and American minimalism.

Tonight, the 91福利社 Philharmonic Orchestra performs her work in Manchester for the very first time. Les Eaux c茅lestes tells the musical story of star-crossed lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi, a sky god鈥檚 daughter and a celestial cowherd who are drawn together by fate.

Before the interval, pianist Elisabeth Brau脽 returns with Ravel鈥檚 Piano Concerto in G, a work bursting with jazz energy and Basque-inspired themes, and featuring one of classical music鈥檚 most moving slow movements. The concert concludes with Rachmaninoff鈥檚 Symphonic Dances, music characterised by soaring melodies, lush harmonies, and deep emotional intensity.

Adam Hickox makes his Bridgewater Hall debut in this sparkling and generous programme of technicolour musical delights.
