Following their highly acclaimed performance at the Barbican on 17 October, Sakari Oramo and clarinettist Martin Fröst head off to Spain with the BBC Symphony Orchestra this week to present four concerts across the northern and eastern parts of the country.

Starting in Valencia, they perform Shostakovich’s Symphony No.9, Copland’s Clarinet Concerto and Prokofiev’s Symphony No.6 – a repeat of the earlier Barbican concert – at the Palau de la Música on 23 October. The tour then heads north to Zaragoza, where a contrasting French-Nordic programme comprising Sibelius’sScènes historiques I, Debussy’s Rhapsody No.1 for clarinet and orchestra, Hillborg’s Peacock Tales and Sibelius’s Symphony No.2 is presented at the Palacio de Congresos on 24 October. The final two concerts take place Santander (Palacio de Festivales Cantabria – Prokofiev, Copland and Sibelius’ Symphony No.2) and San Sebastián (Auditorio Kursaal – Sibelius’s Symphony No.2, Debussy, Hillborg and Prokofiev) on 25 and 26 October respectively.
