On the programme of this year's opening concert, a new work by leading British composer Judith Weir (a short choral and orchestral fanfare based on the four words of the title: Stars, Night, Music and Light), Brahms's festive overture and Liszt's virtuosic concerto performed by young British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor.
