At this year’s BBC Proms the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Susanna Malki will perform Olga Neuwirth's Remnants of songs ... an Amphigory. This five-movement concerto for viola and orchestra was first performed in 2009 in Graz. Lawrence Power joins the Philharmonia Orchestra to tackle the fiendishly difficult solo part.
The acclaimed Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth came to prominence in the UK with her operatic adaptation of David Lynch’s Lost Highway, produced by the ENO and the Young Vic, as well as her recent London Sinfonietta portrait at the Southbank Centre with Hommage à Klaus Nomi!
