BBC SO Total Immersion: Italian Radicals

An image of the Roman colosseum, with yellow and red colours overlaid and circular swirls framing the image

Join the BBC Symphony Orchestra for a day of Total Immersion in the worlds of four composers who redefined a nation.

Dive into a time of revolutionary politics and sonic experiments; of multicoloured modernism, and musical history unpicked, interrogated and made anew. After World War Two, Italian composers confronted hard choices, and discovered boundless opportunities. A new generation found its own voice, and as the era of La dolce vita gave way to the radical 1960s and 1970s anything seemed possible in Italian music.
