The programme also features the world premiere of Brett Dean’s The World’s Wife, a BBC co-commission setting the words of Carol Ann Duffy, alongside Judith Weir’s Moon and Star, which explores the vastness of space through the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Ryan Wigglesworth leads the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra joined by soprano Claire Booth and the BBC Singers.
