BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus 2019-20 Season Fawzi Haimor conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra at Maida Vale

American conductor Fawzi Haimor and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Simon Höfele (trumpet) both make their BBC Symphony Orchestra debuts.

There’s Syrian-American composer’s Kareem Roustom’s recent propulsive, colourful Ramal and two works by Russian/Soviet composers. Sergei Vasilenko’s Concerto Poem for Trumpet & Orchestra, written in the late 1940s, which demonstrates the trumpet’s lyrical voice. Sergei Prokofiev’s nostalgic final symphony, No.7, was completed in 1952, the year before his death.
