The opening and closing concerts of a season tend to be statements of intent – to pursue a path of exploration or (latterly) to celebrate a destination attained. John Storgårds’ final programme of the BBC Philharmonic’s series at the Bridgewater Hall was definitely the latter of those. For the opening concert he gave us The Planets, a Beethoven piano concerto and a new work by Grace-Evangeline Mason.

Benji ReidThe Production FamilyAviva Studios, Manchester25-30 May, 2025: 2 hours 40 minutesThey say one picture is worth a thousand words: with Benji Reid, self-avowed “choreo-photolist”, you get a lot of words as well as the pictures.
