A rich variety of string music spanning three centuries. At this programme's heart is a new piece by John Woolrich, framed by classic works by Mozart and by Purcell, whose imaginative use of form in his Chacony was such an inspiration for Britten's String Quartet No.2 (PCM 3). Stravinsky's mercurial Concerto of 1946 casts an ironic eye back to the musical past as it extracts every ounce of colour and contrast from the strings.
With its disjointed motor rhythms, the music twists and turns in the air like some crazy dance, alternately gawky and elegant, high-spirited and nostalgic – the perfect vehicle to demonstrate the versatility and vitality of this exciting ensemble of players.

Fast-rising young Ukrainian maestro Kirill Karabits makes his Proms debut as the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's new Principal Conductor.
The brilliant Lithuanian-born violinist Julian Rachlin returns to the Proms to play the tenderly lyrical, extrovertly virtuosic concerto by Tchaikovsky, to whose music and memory Stravinsky paid tribute in his Hans Christian Andersen-inspired ballet, The Fairy's Kiss.
By contrast, Khachaturian's colourful Soviet-era ballet Spartacus celebrates the Thracian gladiator whose rebel slave army almost defeated the might of Rome.
