The world premiere of John McCabe's BBC commission Joybox opens a concert of music
inspired by or written for dance, from the Bohemian stamp and whirl of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony to the slow-burning ostinato of Ravel's Boléro.

Mezzo-soprano Clara Mouriz and the flamenco dancers of the Antonio Márquez Company join conductor Juanjo Mena and the BBC Philharmonic in Falla's colourful Ballets Russes commission The Three-Cornered Hat, and the dancers also present a flamenco upbeat to Boléro.
