The BBC Philharmonic’s innovative Red Brick Sessions series returns to the University of Salford’s Peel Hall for its final outing. French Baroque is the subject of this session – with François Couperin the focal point. Orchestrations, arrangements and tributes to Couperin from Thomas Adès, Richard Strauss and Maurice Ravel make up the bulk of the programme, with Jean-Féry Rebel’s 1737 ballet score The Elements rounding off the bill.

Bring your phone or tablet to follow synced information about the music.
