BBC Philharmonic Orchestra 2026/27 Season Death and Transfiguration

Joceyln Morlock’s Golden induces a ritual immersion inspired by a swimming hole in Manitoba, where ‘fool’s gold’ conjures bathers being washed in liquid gold. Bright Travellers sets Fiona Benson’s unflinchingly direct, funny and painfully emotive poems on motherhood. In Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration, life yields to death as existence transcends its earthly state, completing the human experience.

Please note: These concerts are live broadcasts. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the advertised concert start time to allow adequate time to pass through security and to be admitted into the studio. Latecomers will not be permitted into the studio once the broadcast is in progress.
