John Storgards appears later this season with the BBC Philharmonic, but today directs his Lapland Chamber Orchestra - the most northerly professional orchestra in the EU - making its Proms debut. Contemporary music forms a key role in the ensemble's work, and here the group celebrates the 80th birthdays of two major British composers - Sir Harrison Birtwistle and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Swedish trumpeter Hakan Hardenberger is the soloist in Birtwistle's concerto Endless Parade, whose dark, maze-like landscape is matched by the languorous vistas of Honegger. The anniversary celebrations of C. P. E. Bach continue with the spiky, brooding textures of his Symphony in B minor. There will be no interval. Finish time approx. 16:30
