Zubin Kanga premieres Laurence Osborn’s new piece Schiller’s Piano with Manchester Collective. After seeing a replica of Schiller’s piano – which was built by WW2 prisoners and unable to play music – Osborn responds to fascism’s empty attempts to recreate the past in his new concerto. It’s an auditory hallucination where Kanga conjures ghostly samples of piano construction with his keyboard: handsaws, sandpaper, drills.

Also on the programme, music by Grażyna Bacewicz, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Caroline Shaw and Wojciech Kilar.
