The debut of Edward Gardner, principal conductor of the London Philharmonic, as conductor of the OFGC is one of the great attractions of the season. Gardner has chosen a programme of great technical complexity that represents a real challenge for any orchestra. Three brilliant compositions that intertwine aesthetics and influences, with the figure of the choreographer Diaghilev as the driving force behind the peaks of ballet that are Stravinsky's Petruchka and Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe, on the composer's 150th birthday, and the absolute peak of Debussy's The Sea, one of the greatest examples of 20th century orchestral music.
