Claude Debussy's view of the orchestra was different from anyone else's before him. For Debussy, the orchestra posed a panorama of possibilities: the creation of atmospheres irrespective of a thematic narrative, the conjuring of the exotic, the summoning of suggestive mists of musical impressionism with orchestral washes and instrumental fogs. Where Beethoven had explained and commanded, Debussy suggested and implied. Andt like his illustrious predecessor, he discovered a whole new orchestral language in the process.

Through our Young Composers Scheme, they have been mentored by Mark-Anthony Turnage and developed their pieces in workshops with London Philharmonic Orchestra players and musicians on our Foyles Future Firsts programme.
