Whether you prefer your adjectives atmospheric (eloquent, beautiful, timeless) or musicological (meta-symphonic, allegorical, post-Mahlerian), the critical and analytical appraisals of Valentin Silvestrov's music unequivocally hail it as both unique and hugely enjoyable. As Silvestrov has breathed life into Ukrainian music, so his contemporary Giya Kancheli has in Georgian music - Kancheli’s brand of 'complex simplicity' has seen him create scores of striking originality and universal popularity, forging a compositional voice that is all his own.

Royal Festival Hall at 6.15pm: Musicologist and reviewer David Fanning discusses the works of Kancheli, Yusupov and Silvestrov. Admission free.
