The Royal College of Music and London Philharmonic Orchestra join forces for Debut Sounds: Dérive, presented by BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Sara Mohr-Pietsch.

To begin, the RCM New Perspectives present an array of 20th-century works by such compositional giants as Magnus Lindberg, Julian Anderson, Pierre Boulez and Oliver Knussen.

In the second half, we hear five world premieres by the LPO'S Young Composers – the freshest talent on the contemporary classical scene. These premieres will be conducted by LPO Composer in Residence Magnus Lindberg, and performed by members of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and its Foyle Future Firsts Development Programme. Each work is written specially for a member of the LPO to perform as soloist, from trombone to clarinet and cello.
